This unintentional pairing might go down as my most swoonworthy of 2018. A crunchy, sugary, cinnamon-spiced, deep-fried croissant washed down with smooth, jammy cabernet sauvignon from the rink-side snack bar (as in: full bar, with snacks) operated by Sweet Coloradough of Glenwood Springs.

The method generally includes selectively inducing RNA gene silencing in the seed of a transgenic cotton plant, to interfere with expression of the δ-cadinene synthase gene or the δ-cadinene-8-hydroxylase gene in the seed of the cotton plant without substantially affecting expression of that gene in the foliage, floral parts, and roots of the plant.

“I call it a yarden. It’s a garden that grows into a yard,” Baldwin said. “It’s that much less to mow.”

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.

That’s not the only bargain Taco Bell is offering up for this frozen treat, either. Have you heard about Taco Bell’s Happier Hour? No? OK, let me fill you in on a tasty and money-saving tip. From 2–5 p.m. local time, stop by any Taco Bell location for $1 freezes and drinks, including the new Watermelon Freeze.

Soymeal is not the only source of protein in feed. Meal from rapeseed, cotton seeds, sunflower seeds and palm kernels can all be substitutes.

In a pot of boiling salted water, boil the seeds for 10 minutes. Drain well. On a rimmed sheet pan lined with aluminum foil, spread out the seeds so they don’t overlap. Bake them on the middle shelf of the oven for 5 minutes. Remove and stir well. Bake for another 4 to 5 minutes or until most of the seeds appear white.

If you’ve met Mawa—an Ivory Coast spitfire in Aspen by way of Paris—you know that she doesn’t do anything meekly. The crepe variations we sampled at a media preview during the grand opening followed accordingly: red-wine-braised short ribs with hunks of foie gras; smoked salmon, caviar and dill cream; and the "Colorado Burger" with a full-sized bison patty, caramelized onions, cheese and horseradish cream.
