What Does ‘Raw’ Mean? When It Comes To Almonds, You Might Be Surprised : The Salt : NPR | Green Pumpkin Seeds Kernel

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.

Taco Bell is apparently trying to prove its customers that it can make a soft drink look as much like a fruit drink as it tastes

Taco Bell has been dabbling in the frozen drink category all summer long. Recently, the Mexican fast food chain released the Berry Frosé Twisted Freeze. This summer time libation is made with two ounces of Charles & Charles rosé wine, but is only available at Taco Bell Cantina locations in Newport Beach, California, and Chicago, Illinois. So, if you can’t make it to one of these two locations to slurp down a Berry Frosé Twisted Freeze this summer, at least you can take solace in the fact that you’ve got the Watermelon Freeze on your side.

With a lot of health benefits, carrots are not only used for preventing cancer or maintaining skin tone, they can also be used for curing premature ejaculation.

In a stainless steel pot, add water, vinegars, sugar, watermelon juice, cloves, cinnamon stick, and ginger. Bring to gentle boil and cook for 8-10 minutes, using a spoon to remove any pulp that rises to the surface.

Jay has inherited a large portion of Scott’s previous duties running the business, while Rick Wild has taken over Red Robin Seeds (the seed brand of Schumitsch).

In 2013, The Daily Mail reported that Selena Gomez music was "banned" (although everyone’s kind of moved on). Business Insider now reports that Justin requires organic turkey, alkaline water, backstage Jacuzzis, plus 10 luxury sedans and a Rolls-Royce escort.

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.

The bar program headed by Will Piquette unsurprisingly echoes the wide-ranging sophistication of Schlesinger-Guidelli’s previous work at Pagu, Island Creek and Craigie on Main. Brilliant original specialty cocktails ($10-$12) include the Bayoutiful ($10) of rye, chai, bitters and absinthe, like a spicy Sazerac. Eleven craft drafts plus 22 packaged beers and ciders (most $5-$11) favor the beer-snob crowd, with a few plebian options. The wine list offers range, versatility and some weeknight-worthy prices: 24 by the glass (most $8-$13), 14 helpful half-bottles ($27-$64) and 104 bottles arranged into cheekily descriptive categories (one grouping of reds is named “jam band”) at prices to suit budget oenophiles (with dozens of options under $70) and high rollers alike. Service throughout reflects the kind of affable, attentive polish to be expected of ex-patriates of the Garrett Harker empire. Maybe we could have just said, “Think Eastern Standard on the Charles, but swap the Citgo sign for the Zakim,” and that would have gotten you most of the way here. We can only imagine a legion of Garden habitués, commuters and neighbors gratefully adding, “It’s about frickin’ time.” ◆

Families and pumpkin-enthusiasts alike flocked to the Botanical Gardens over the weekend to mark the giant squash’s arrival.

“As far as water is concerned, it’s no more than what you would use if you had tomato or cucumber plants in that same area,” he said. “If you overwater these plants, the ground could become saturated, and then you would end up with root or vine rot. At that point, the plant would be unable to take in sufficient amounts of nutrients. We try to be very precise as growers, in order to get the biggest pumpkin.”
