For more than 30 years at Piñons, guests have craved signature Dover sole flown in fresh from across the pond. Unfortunately for slackers, the dining room is booked now past New Year’s Day.

One easy method involves peeling the pumpkin, removing the seeds and pulpy flesh, cutting it into cubes, adding salt, pepper and olive oil and roasting the cubes in the oven.

I have a bag that I was going to toss in the green bin as they are outdated by years. They’ve been in a dry place. Can I use the raw split peas as bird food or would you not recommend it?

And in addition to his 21 Savage/IG Stories situation, James was also in the news last week for reasons not necessarily about what could be a potential fifth MVP season. The week began with, reportedly, several small-market NBA general managers enraged over James’ not-so-subliminal remarks about potentially landing superstar Anthony Davis as a teammate.

Opening a vegan burger joint sounds like an ambitious goal — and a difficult one at that. Frankly, many veggie patties don’t taste good. Furthermore, even well-known establishments don’t get fries right *cough* In-N-Out *cough*.

“Giant pumpkins have been grown for over a century, but Howard Dill really took it to the next level,” he explained. “In the early 20th century, pumpkin contests were pretty common, especially through Europe and here in the U.S., but then they kind of dropped off from the 1930s to the 1950s, when Howard Dill resurrected the form. He’s now considered to be the modern father of these giant pumpkins.”

California law legalized the recreational use of marijuana, but counties and cities can establish their own rules, particularly regarding how it is grown.

Seeds that are dry and mature can be frozen with little or no effect on seed quality or viability. Seeds having moisture content of 20 per cent or more though, will suffer from frost injury with yield and quality losses. A frost of -3°C will kill immature seeds containing 50 to 60 per cent moisture. Seed drier than 20 per cent is more at risk of increased green seed content than yield loss and dead seed. After a frost has occurred and canola is standing or in the swath, the damage will become obvious as you approach 72 hours after the event.
