5 Super Health Benefits Of Sunflower Seeds | Black Watermelon Seeds

The dramatic changes of form and use of sunflowers over the last century show what can be achieved by breeders if suitable genetic resources are available.

I have two favorites: First, ma po tofu, creamy tofu soaked in a beefy, sweet spicy sauce. I spoon it onto their perfectly cooked fluffy rice and go into yummy bliss.

Chef and owner Mike Jones opened his approachable but elegant Texas-style barbecue restaurant in early September, expanding his repertoire from the long-time vegetable-forward Mizuna to include slow-cooked, smoked meats a couple blocks down the street. It’s casual but refined, with black cloth napkins, white dishware and table service. The dining room is warm and inviting, done in red brick and wood. Plenty of natural light comes in from a pair of skylights overhead as well as a front wall of glass. There’s a lodge- or saloon-like feel, but the Western-style ambiance isn’t overdone. Brisket is an early top-seller. But Austin’s Live Fire Barbecue also specializes in wood-fired, spice-rubbed pork ribs, pork shoulder, pork belly and chicken. Jones had the kitchen built out to accommodate a large custom-made smoker with three pits with weighted lids. Sides include smoked Gouda mac and cheese, sweet potato fries or braised greens. Don’t skip dessert. Jones asked his mom for an old family recipe for pecan pie “that’s better than any pecan pie that I’ve ever had in any restaurant.

The first prize was $5,000, and there was an additional $1,000 for the biggest grown in New Hampshire. On top of that, they threw on another $2,500 for the biggest grown in New England. So, I guess I really made out on this.”

It’s 8:30 a.m., and the gate in front of the seafoam green facade of Mokonuts is only halfway lifted, but that doesn’t stop passersby from ducking under it to see about some coffee or a cookie. This 24-seat local favorite calls itself a “café and bakery” on its sign, but it is so much more than that. Almost immediately, I’m welcomed by a familiar call: “Hiieeeee, Sara."
