At the Market: Delicious icebox yellow watermelon | Black Watermelon Seeds

For recipe ideas, try making a Baked Sweet Potato With Pesto Pasta, Tomatoes, and Pumpkin Seeds, or whip up some hearty Power Bread With Sunflower Seeds, Flax Seeds, Sesame Seeds, and Pumpkin Seeds.

“If that doesn’t pass, there won’t be a pumpkin farm,” Eda Muller told critics at a recent city council meeting, muttering under her breath, “Put that in your pipe and smoke it.”

It was not long before Moko wanted in on the pots-and-pans action. Ladurée had just opened inside Harrods, so she called them up and asked if she could come in as an unpaid apprentice on weekends. The couple soon found themselves wearing aprons until the wee hours, but Moko was reluctantly still in a suit while the sun shone. Convinced the only place to legitimately bake was Paris, in 2008, Moko quit law and the pair moved back to Omar’s hometown. (“Moko, you’re nuts!” her colleagues told her, and thus, the name of their future café was born.)

However, Beaut Burger gets it right. From the slow-fermented English muffin-style bun to the crispy fries with lemon zest and herbs, the restaurant elevates the classic American staples with simple artisanal elegance. But they’re not too fancy for $2 Miller High Life.

In 2008, San Mateo County growers raised pumpkins on 263 acres. By 2017, pumpkins grew on just 167 acres. There were fewer pumpkin farms but still plenty of buyers, particularly each October during Half Moon Bay’s Art & Pumpkin Festival, a two-day celebration that can draw 200,000 people, clog roads for miles and raise millions of dollars for nonprofit groups and vendors.

Most of the parade watchers were tourists who had no idea about the local rift. Hollister and a few others walked through the festival wearing green shirts that read, “Let Our Farmers Grow,” a phrase that probably didn’t resonate with most.

Taco Bell, of course, is no stranger to menu items with snap. The chain has been CrunchWrapped and Fritos Burrito-ed, and the Yum Brands subsidiary caused a sensation with the 2012 introduction of the Doritos Locos Tacos in which the crispy taco shells were made from Doritos. At the time, they were Taco Bell’s most successful new product introduction, and they remain menu standards with Cool Ranch, Nacho Cheese and Fiery Doritos options.

Just adding a dash of seeds into a smoothie or salad can give your diet a health boost, said Lori Zanini, registered dietitian and a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Here are five options you can consider:

I’ve eaten at Noodleholics three days in a row without remorse. I still make any excuse I can to visit Noodleholics. I can’t resist.

There’s a club for people who like to grow mammoth produce, the Pacific Northwest Giant Pumpkin Growers.

“Watermelon’s health benefits extend well beyond its juicy flesh,” says Theresa Shank, a registered dietitian and owner of Philly Dietitian. “The seeds offer almost the same nutrient density of other more common seeds, like pumpkin and sunflower, and the rind is among the richest edible sources of L-citrulline, an amino acid that has been studied extensively in its relation to heart health.”

What Ouriel is promising, essentially, is expertise. Most product formulators are not biologists but cosmetic chemists who, she tells me, might know how ingredients will react with each other but not necessarily how they will react with the skin. “It’s like having a cotton farmer design your clothes,” she says. After speaking with Ouriel, I rid myself of several long-neglected serums in my medicine cabinet, no longer convinced of their untapped powers, and attempted to make a real routine out of her five-product line, which includes an oil-based cleanser, a gentle chemical exfoliant, a pigment-correcting eye serum, a UV-protecting serum and a moisture-locking serum, and comes in handmade glass beakers with red rubber-capped pipettes. It’s a mad-scientist aesthetic that is meant for more than just marketing. Glass is nonreactive, for one, and the breakable material ensures a degree of mindfulness from users. “You have to treat it with care, just like you should treat your skin,” she says. “This is not something you can just throw into a gym bag.”
