Readers uncover old-fashioned watermelons with seeds | Green Pumpkin Seeds Kernel

Be sure to season the seeds while they’re still hot out of the oven, using either a tad more salt or the spice blend of your choice, such as creole seasoning. (Don’t season the seeds before putting them into the oven. The spices will burn as the seeds bake.) Those folks who decline to spice up the seeds will still have their deeply nutty flavor to enjoy.

Seared foie gras ($29), whether a nod to classic fine dining or playing to the well-heeled neighborhood, feels almost obligatory in this context. But Gauthier handles it with skill, in a summery context with port reduction and sweet strawberries; or paired with pumpkin, huckleberries and a spicy mole as the weather grows cold.

My favourite way to eat watermelon lately is in salad form. For those who have never tried this somewhat strange combination of watermelon, feta, mint, lime, olives and red onions before, I know you may be scared, but trust me, it all works together swimmingly. It’s savoury and refreshing, and very easy to toss together at the last minute for entertaining. So why is this salad so darn good? The sweetness of the melon is balanced by the salty, creamy feta cheese and briny olives. The red onion adds an obvious contrast, and it’s key to let the very thin slices mingle in the fresh lime juice for several minutes, as this will help cut some of its sharpness. And don’t hold back on the fresh mint — it really does tie all of the flavours together. If you’re like me and have a giant pot of mint just outside the door, you’re always looking for ways to use it. This is one! Don’t bother chopping the parsley though — those leaves can be left as is, or torn. Dress it with a nice, fruity extra virgin olive oil, and a good amount of fresh black pepper to finish. If I haven’t convinced you on the magic of these ingredients amalgamated together, and you’re not too keen on the onions and olives in this salad, it’s perfectly acceptable to omit them. You lose some of the complexity of flavours, but it’s still a gorgeous way to eat watermelon. This salad looks very pretty on a large platter, and tastes even better when a crowd of those you adore are gathered around. That’s what summer is about, right?

Before that controversy could finish marinating, a 2011 clip of HBO’s Talking Funny resurfaced, featuring Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, Ricky Gervais and Louis C.K. Rock, C.K. and Gervais used “n—–” freely while Seinfeld sat with them, visibly uncomfortable. Rock immediately came under fire for not only introducing the word into the discussion but also actively participating in the wildly abrasive clip. Seinfeld won wide praise, most likely for this comment: “I don’t find humor [in the word ‘n—–’]. Nor do I seek it.”

Taking care of your hair isn’t limited to the products you apply. Like pretty much every other aspect of our health, our hair can also benefit from our consumption of certain healthy foods. For instance, vitamin E is excellent for our hair because it supports collagen production. Foods high in vitamin E include almonds, avocados, brazil nuts, mangoes, and more! B vitamins are also important for our hair. Dates are a great example of a plant-based food with B vitamins and other nutrients, such as pyridoxine which helps the production of keratin. Other foods that are good for your hair to include in your diet are oats, greens, and plenty of superfood seeds such as pumpkin, chia, and flax seeds.

In Ashley Flitter‘s Pumpkin Ginger Noodle Bowl, the pumpkin truly shines and it accompanies cold weather perfectly. Also, this dish is cheap and easy, but it tastes like a gourmet bowl of soup, so you can fit it into your budget while also impressing your guests or family. Also, if you are short on time, it only takes 20 minutes to put it all together, so it’s ready to go when you are! You can dress this up with any kind of additional veggies you’d like, and if you have gluten allergies, feel free to sub out the noodles for something that works for your dietary needs.

“We make zero dollars out of it and spend about $2,000 a year — that’s for five plants,” Young said. “We have friends who dock a boat all summer for that kind of money. Well, this is my boat; this is our golf club.”

As children, many of us were warned in jest that swallowing watermelon seeds would make melons grow in our bellies.

Unlike other nuts, this variety are quite soft because they have a higher water content, and for that reason they need to be kept in the fridge, preferable with a damp cloth over them.
