The chestnuts have already been cooked and may seem a little bland and mealy at first. Colouring them in the pan reveals lots of complex sweet, nutty flavours and changes the texture, too.

Did James fly too close to the sun by actually typing the lyrics out on his Instagram story? To some, he definitely did. And these rebuttals, without question, deserve attention and empathy. Every community has stereotypes about which it is rightfully sensitive — the black community included. Yet, within a suggestion that James is in favor of anti-Semitism is the choice to ignore the calls for unity he has made from his platforms for years, and ever more as his societal caché has expanded. James’ history is about inclusion over exclusion — a battle he’s taken to the front door of the Trump White House on more than one occasion. Given the racial climate of the moment, it’s fair to wonder if some (not all) of the reaction to James’ post isn’t more about the power of the man who posted it.

And the taste? Pleasantly nutty. Cook seeds in a hot pan with cooking spray and seasonings for two to five minutes, or roast them with the recipe below from Affairs of Living.

Following goûter—French for afternoon snack time, when much of the country stops for a sweet—the 80 or 90 cookies Moko bakes twice daily, in varying types from miso and sesame to black olive and white chocolate, are usually all gone. But just before she rolls up her sleeves and starts shaping tomorrow’s batch, she realizes the time: Their daughters, Aly, 4, and Mia, 7, need to be picked up from school around the block, which Moko zips out the door to do with flour-coated hands and her apron still on. Once back at the café, they settle in to color and watch videos while Mom and Dad prep for the next day—or, in some cases, that night, when Omar stays alone to cook for a private dinner party.

Baldwin, 58, a Washington Marine Cleaning production manager, has been growing pumpkins since the 1980s when his two sons were little.

Centennial State residents can sell baked goods, pickles, and more straight from their kitchens to their neighbors—and you.

In a medium bowl, combine the slices of red onion and juice of two limes. Let them mingle for about ten minutes while you chop the watermelon.

After mid-dough stage, temperatures down to -4°C can result in damage in the form of bran frost, kernel shrinkage and possibly a reduction in germination. Signs of kernel damage won’t be evident until at least 7 to 10 days after the frost event. With respect to yield, lab experiments have shown that wheat, barley and oats show little yield reduction at the late dough stage when exposed to -8 C for one hour. Remember – grain that has been impacted by frost should be tested for germination and vigor prior to using for seed; the earlier the frost, the greater the impact to seed quality.

As Muller slowly steered the tractor down the street, a grandchild in his lap, he waved, mostly hidden in a shadow, more cautious than jubilant.
