What Is Taco Bell’s Watermelon Freeze? The New Frozen Drink Is Perfect For Summer | Big Size Pumpkin Seeds

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.” ◆

“It was putting on 15 to 20 pounds a day, in its peak,” Baldwin said. “It’s fun to watch it get that big.”

Watermelon seeds are one of the most nutrient-dense varieties of seeds. They are a rich source of proteins, vitamins, omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, magnesium, zinc, copper, potassium and more. These seeds are high in calories though, so you need to mindful of your portions. One cup of roasted watermelon seeds contains roughly 600 calories.

We like to grow the pumpkins on a piece of metal mesh fabric. These came from the Rumford paper mill. They spin paper on them and the mill needs to throw them out when old.  The fabric drains water well, and keeps mice from getting in under the fruit.

The six-year-old law allows Centennial Staters to make no-refrigeration-required foodstuffs—breads, cookies, pastries, preserves, pickles, and the like—in their home kitchens and sell their scratch-made wares (as well as eggs, honey, tea, and more) from their yards, at local markets and events, and online. Producers working under this law need only take a food-safety class to be certified; they also have to maintain a clean kitchen, properly label their packaging, pay sales taxes, and sell directly to consumers within our state’s rectangular borders. Sound easy? It actually is—much more so than leasing a commercial kitchen just to bake and sell a few hundred pies or cookies. Intrepid producers can earn up to $10,000 in net revenue per year, per CFA product (e.g., brownies are one product, and brownies with walnuts are considered a different product)—meaning it’s not out of the question for folks to earn a decent living from the comfort of their own home kitchens, for the delicious benefit of their fellow Coloradans.

Edibles seeds are currently the super stars of the culinary world. With its amazing health benefits and unique flavours, these tiny seeds have found a major position on the supermarket shelves as well. From the sesame and poppy seeds (khus khus) that are commonly seen our kitchens, to flax seeds, chia, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, they have clearly dominated the food scene today.

My fiancée and I traveled home to Arizona in May for a niece’s high school graduation, and on our route, we stopped by Tocabe, An American Indian Eatery (one of two locations) in Denver, Colorado. An indigenous owned and operated restaurant amongst many other restaurants that represent cuisines from across the globe, this space stands out because it represents a real American food culture. Tocabe is run by Ben Jacobs (Osage Nation) and his friend Matt Chandra. They source from tribal and organic sustainable vendors in likes of Red Lake Nation Foods, Ramona’s Farms, Bow & Arrow, and Rock River Ranches.

James shrugged off the backroom chatter, saying he’d love to play with any superstar and that Davis was one of many. And then Dec. 21, on James’ first-person interview series The Shop, his unfiltered thoughts on the NFL became the focal point of the episode. James praised NBA commissioner Adam Silver — who, for the sake of the conversation, is Jewish — for his willingness to allow players to utilize their platforms to speak about issues important to them. The NFL, James argued, doesn’t share the same viewpoint about players, whether they’re on or off the field. “In the NFL they got a bunch of old white men owning teams and they got that slave mentality,” the four-time MVP said. “And it’s like, This is my team. You do what the f— I tell y’all to do. Or we get rid of y’all.”

Another way to roast sunflower seeds is to simply mix them with butter and salt. Use about 1 1/2 tablespoons butter and 1 teaspoon salt for every 2 cups of seeds and roast them for about an hour at 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Shake or stir them occasionally.

On Sunday afternoon viewers were treated to an unusual sight — a giant pumpkin seed harvest. At 1pm sharp, Geddes zipped himself into a white hazmat-like suit, stuck a flashlight between his teeth, and shimmied into the belly of the pumpkin to gather the squash’s precious seeds. At one point he called in backup, and a second man zipped up and joined him in the hollowed-out pumpkin. While Geddes wasn’t sure if it was the first time two grown men have been in a pumpkin together, he was fairly certain it was the first time the phenomena had happened at the Botanical Gardens.

Because all three are helpful for increasing circulation, especially blood flow to the penis. Ginger and honey also contain the amino acid L-tryptophan (which 5-HTP comes from); thus increasing your serotonin levels, naturally.
