Frozen Fun -- LeNell it All

My partner Demián and I live in the desert in Baja California Sur, Mexico. This time of year the heat is rising and the humidity is heavy. Two of our favorite ways to cool off is to crank up the blender for frosty libations and to pull out the vintage Tupperware popsicle sets for adult ice pops.
Here are a few tips if you're going with a blender drink:
• People always fret over how much ice to use, but an easy way to figure it out is to simply build the drink in the glass you're going to use, then dump all of the ingredients with the ice into the blender. You'll wind up with a tiny bit extra that you can mound up at the top of the glass, making your drink look all pretty.
• For easier blending, add liquid, fruit chunks, and then the ice.

Watermelon week at Eating Out Loud
Summer is watermelon season. I look forward to it every year and the only problem I'm able to spot when it comes to watermelons is that they contain so much fruit that you either need a whole lot of refrigerator space in which to store it, or you need to have a party in order to crack open a melon.
If you find yourself with some extra watermelon and no excess fridge space or party guests, Allen at Eating Out Loud is dedicating the entire week to profiling good ways to incorporate watermelon into your cooking. Yesterday he published a recipe for watermelon mint ice pops that look extremely delicious. I mean, talk about food porn. Not only are the pops beautiful, they're incredibly easy to make.
If you want a special, tasty, home made treat that's also good-ish for you, you might want to give these watermelon mint pops a try! And make sure to check back in with Eating Out Loud all week long to see what other watermelon treats he's got up his sleeve.
