20 reasons to check out this year’s Windsor-West Hants Pumpkin Regatta | Living | The Digby Courier | Raw Sunflower Seeds In Shell

Why can’t we eat sunflower seeds whole? Great question. I know about this one firsthand since I became hooked on sunflower seeds (and their hulls, as the shells are technically called), back in the summer after fourth grade. My summer camp took a field trip to a minor league baseball game, and as a special treat, gave out sunflower seeds to all of us to eat at the game. I thought chewing and spitting out the sunflower seed was so gross that I decided to eat the sunflower seed whole — kernel, hull, everything. Besides, the outside is the part that’s salted and tastes the best to a kid like me anyway. Great idea, right?

Geddes quickly discovered that pumpkins, like children, grow up so fast. He also discovered he was good at growing them, and now, after the annual competition last weekend at the Deerfield Fair, Geddes holds the record for growing the heaviest pumpkin in North American history.

Gently fry the onion, stirring now and then, for 10 minutes or until softened. Add a splash of water if it looks like catching at any point. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 180˚C/Gas Mark 4.

Denver Licensed clinical social worker Jamie Burke has long considered baking a form of personal therapy; at first, sharing delicious treats with friends was just a happy bonus. She found so much joy in rolling out all-butter pie crusts and scooping cookie dough, however, that she started selling her wares at area markets under the Pie Bird name in 2012. Two years later, Burke took her sweet side hustle into a commissary kitchen so she could produce larger volumes of her signature chocolate tarts and mini apple pies for area coffeeshops (selling to retail outlets is not allowed under the CFA). Sounds like a success story, right? And it was—until Burke realized, nine months into the change, that she actually found the act of baking at home to be far more soul nourishing, not to mention convenient. “I like making things to sell directly to families, and scheduling time at the commissary was so hard,” she says. Nowadays, Pie Bird once again operates out of Burke’s Capitol Hill kitchen. And while that means no more goat cheese tarts, thanks to CFA restrictions against items that require refrigeration, you can still indulge in some self-care of your own with Pie Bird’s fudgy caramel-and-peanut-butter-swirled brownies, sea-salt-sprinkled dark chocolate chip cookies, and other comforting confections.How To Buy: Check Burke’s website for the current menu (from $20 for 13 cookies to $28 for a nine-by-13-inch pan of brownies), and order through the contact form.
