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

Aurora For someone who doesn’t call herself a baker, Crystal Araujo makes extraordinary conchas. These particular “panes dulces,” or sweet breads—with their crunchy, shell-like tops—are ubiquitous at Mexican bakeries, including those across the Denver metro area, but Araujo couldn’t find any she loved near her Aurora home, close to the Southlands mall. “My mother moved to Texas in 2016, and I was missing her and feeling nostalgic for the family get-togethers we used to have,” she says. “For Latino-Americans, when family is together, it’s never really complete without pan dulce and coffee. I wanted to re-create that feeling.” After multiple rounds of recipe tweaks and feedback from her husband, Edmundo, and friends, Araujo established Las Conchas Bakery—and she’s been baking nonstop for a growing customer base ever since. “Conchas can get stale and dry,” Araujo says, “and I wanted mine to be different.” We say mouthwatering mission accomplished, thanks to her conchas’ soft, fluffy bread base, which she tops with vivid flavors and hues, from pistachio to strawberry to Mexican chocolate.How To Buy: Find out which concha flavors are available via Araujo’s Instagram account (@lasconchasbakeryco), and place your order, starting at $10 per half-dozen, via email (lasconchasbakery@gmail.com). Araujo offers free delivery within five miles of the Southlands mall, or you can contact her for pickup information.

For my birthday this year, I went to Rose’s Luxury. There are no reservations at Rose’s; you stand in line in one of DC’s most photogenic neighborhoods and patiently wait to be seated. The service is hospitable, and the atmosphere is cozy. All of the food comes out on small plates with some of the most imaginative combinations of technique and flavors. Rose’s cocktails are equally as delicious. It’s an all-around dope spot.

Save for 45.8 million followers — approximately 20,000 of whom he gains daily — LeBron James is just your regular Instagram user. Injured Tuesday night in his Los Angeles Lakers’ victory over the Golden State Warriors, James will likely IG all of his rehab. As the most followed American athlete, James posts pictures, clowns his friends in the comments, occasionally misspells a word and generally uses Instagram’s Stories medium as his own personal creative studio.

Place them in a roasting tray, coat with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place them in the oven to roast for 25 minutes, or until tender and slightly coloured. While the squash cooks, break the garlic bulb into its separate cloves. Peel each clove, keeping them whole. Pop the garlic cloves into the pan of boiling water and cook them for 10 minutes, until just tender to the tip of a knife.

Divide into shallow bowls, grate over a scant dusting of nutmeg and sprinkle with the cheese. Serve immediately.

Shaun Thompson Duffy’s Culture Breads finally found a brick-and-mortar location, and it’s been a game-changer for Spokane’s bread scene. The shop, tucked in into a long-empty storefront in the South Perry District, celebrates local grain from field to glass and flour to loaf. Thompson Duffy makes bread the old-fashioned way: by hand, using ancient, landrace and heirloom grains that are stone-ground on site, then naturally leavened and wood-fired in a custom-built oven. Because of Spokane’s location along the northern edge of the Palouse, one of the nation’s top grain-growing regions, Thompson Duffy is also able to do something many bakers aren’t. He’s able to get all of his grain from within 100 miles of the spot where it’s milled and baked into bread. While some make a point to use some locally or regionally grown grain, it’s rare to find a shop that bakes solely with it. The fully renovated building also houses a nano-brewery that makes beers with locally grown and locally malted grain, some of which comes from farmer Don Scheuerman, co-founder of Palouse Heritage and one of the partners in the business. Also on the menu: sandwiches and wood-fired flatbreads and Viennoiserie, such as croissants and pains au chocolat. 1026 E. Newark Ave. (509) 241-3853. thegrainshed.coop.

This is just too cute. "I park my Bentley truck on my Versace driveway" might be Cardi B’s lyrics, but this girl hasn’t forgotten more basic times. Take Cardi’s 2018 Coachella demands, as posted by TMZ.

I’ll admit that separating the seeds from the vegetable’s stringy membrane can be messy. The seeds are sticky, the membrane in which they are embedded is sticky, and your hands will get sticky as you do the work. The solution? Pull the seeds out of the pumpkin’s cavity, put them in a large bowl of water, then swish them around. The strands of membrane are much easier to pull off in water. Remove any of the seeds’ residual stickiness by rinsing them once or twice. Now they’re good to go.

Though it’s OK to feed wild birds year round, many people prefer to feed only during the colder months. The colder months are here, so let’s review the best foods to offer backyard birds
