After nearly dying, chef Seamus Mullen shares how changing his diet transformed his life | Black Watermelon Seeds

Authors of a study from 2011 found that female participants with sensitive skin who took a flaxseed oil supplement for 12 weeks experienced:

Soy cheese, Oreos, Flintstones Vitamins and Nesquik are on Christina’s list. While Christina has admitted that a Wendy’s Big Bacon Classic is her "favourite meal," the backstage tray is less about the fast food.

We still aren’t sure– is it Kanye or Ye? Either way, Kanye West is proving to be a giant #Diva with his backstage demands. We get it. The man is organized. Business Insider reports requirements including a bottle of hot sauce, small yogurt, toothpicks and lots of alcohol.

LeBron James in the fast break of life is far scarier than any of his moves at Staples Center. This scares a lot of people. As it should. Those kinds of victories come with far more pressure than that of raising another banner.

It starts with bread service, a simple slice or two served with a different dip or spread every visit: Perhaps olive oil laced with herbs and duck fat, salty whipped feta, smoky salmon mousse or a sweetly lush quenelle of silky pureed chicken liver.

It was a very interesting year for the Western — the genre made the Herald movie critic’s top five.

Preheat your oven to 200˚C/Gas 6. Place the squash in a baking dish, drizzle with oil and season. Turn cut-side down and bake for approx. 45 mins, until the flesh is tender when pierced with a knife. 

Down six winding flights of stairs, across the street, and onto rue Faidherbe, the quartier’s main thoroughfare—with its poppy-themed florist, organic and biodynamic market, local post office, and neighborhood record shop—I take a quick left on the narrow, cobblestoned rue du Dahomey and another onto rue Saint-Bernard. I could do the four-minute walk in this far east section of the 11th arrondissement—my home for the past two years—with my eyes closed and still land precisely on the chocolate-meets-caramelizing-onions-scented doorstop of 5 rue Saint-Bernard.

Unfortunately, right now, Schumitsch Seed lacks a lot of the expensive equipment to make this happen. However, Jay is excited and ambitious about the future. Through years and reinvestments, one day he believes they’ll reach this goal.

This is not your average walk-up-counter, Stryofoam-to-go box kind of barbecue joint. 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. It’s been passed down by her mom and her mom.” It’s $6.95 a slice. 421 W. Main Ave. (509) 290-5851.

For her master’s dissertation at California State University, Fullerton, Ouriel, now 31, researched ovarian development in the black widow spider, and it was there, alone in the electron microscope lab waiting for her specimens to lay eggs, that she started developing what, after two-and-a-half years of tinkering, became her No. 9 exfoliator, which uses lactic and other acids to dissolve corneodesmosome, the biological glue that holds dead skin cells together. This was after experiencing her own skin troubles. Until she was 25, Ouriel had never used so much as a facial cleanser. When she did invest in a few professional products, they gave her acne, so then she bought some anti-acne products, which only made things worse. “It was the skin care — essential oils, which break down a cell’s plasma membrane, and scrubs and microdermabrasion, which create lacerations on the skin’s surface — that were weakening my skin and making it more susceptible to bacterial and fungal pathogens,” she says.
