Fame can change a person. Selena Gomez grew up on dollar-store spaghetti. Megan Fox recalls "I couldn’t shave my legs" because she couldn’t afford razors, as Digital Spy reports. When the normie life is replaced by one of fame and fortune, everything from the baseball caps to the backyard changes. Before you know it, the headline comes with a #Diva.

Here’s a somewhat boring fact you might already know about cotton: It doesn’t make a good food, for humans or animals. Glands throughout the plant produce a toxic pigment called gossypol that limits its use as feed stock.

So the fact that cotton produces gossypol reduces the value of cotton as a crop. If you could use cottonseeds as food for humans the way you can for sunflowers or use it without careful rationing as a feedstock, that would be a boon to cotton farmers. In fact, for every 1 pound of cotton fiber — the product, the plant produces 1.6 pounds of seed — the byproduct. Imagine if you were a farmer being able to produce straight up 2.6 pounds of product for sale instead.

This cozy and elegant pub is distinctly more casual than its sister establishment, Latah Bistro, known for fine neighborhood dining and an extensive wine list. Wine & Taps features five rotating taps, plus Stella Artois on draft. The feel is contemporary and casual with sophisticated yet rustic touches. The floor is polished concrete. Table tops are knotty hickory. So is the 21-foot bar top. Black-and-white vintage Western-themed images printed on metal adorn the walls. A banquette along one wall is covered with brushed velvet. Owner Susan Readel particularly likes the look of the high-backed bar stools, which remind her of “the look of an old Chevy.” She and her husband, Mike Readel, bought the restaurant and its companion latte stand, Latah Latte, in April. They are the second owners of those businesses, started in 2004 and 2005 respectively. And they were regulars at the restaurant before they bought it. There are two TVs in the space, which fills up fast when the Zags and Eagles play. The menu features elevated pub grub and shareables such as four wild Gulf prawns with citrus-vodka sauce for $15, a pint of bacon with whiskey-maple syrup dip for $13, skewered Old-English-braised brats with Walla Walla sweet onions for $10, and Cajun-spiced Mississippi sliders for $15. The $18.50 Royale with Cheese features Wagyu beef, Cambozola, garlic aioli, arugula and smoked bacon. It’s served with a side of chicharron-dusted cheddar mac and cheese. Look, also, for a $13 bowl of bison chili and the chance to build your own steak wraps for $18 with blackened hanger steak, adobo-lime yogurt sauce, radishes, cilantro, crushed corn nuts, lime wedges and lettuce cups. The Bucket of Love includes six gluten-free Mayan chocolate-ancho chile muffins dusted with powdered sugar for $10. Wine & Taps also offers a 4-and-a-half-foot-long charcuterie board for 20. It costs approximately $200, or market price. The pub asks for 24 hours’ notice for it as well as the 3 1/2-foot-long birthday board with Twinkies, animal cookies and vodka-soaked gummy bears. 4241 Cheney-Spokane Road.

An outing to the Limelight Aspen never seems complete without its signature thin-crust pizza, and diners at the brand-new Snowmass spot have even more reasons to try a pie: only three of the same pizzas from the Limelight Aspen are on the menu. Sample new topping combos (meatball, Greek) to pair with power greens. I was skeptical when our server suggested it, but the beautifully composed bowl delivers substance: a pile of arugula and baby spinach encircled by piles of fluffy quinoa, roasted pumpkinseeds, crispy garbanzo beans, carrot, cucumber and green beans to toss together with Champagne vinaigrette.

It gets worse. Staff mustn’t talk to her, and she needs someone to clean and cut her vegetables, Huffington Post reports.

If frost does occur, the information below will give you some details to help assess any potential impact to crop yield and quality. The full impact of frost will not be obvious immediately. Several warm days may be required for the extent of leaf and crop damage to be evident. The magnitude of frost injury will be dependent upon how low temperatures went, time of exposure, and the stage of crop development. Generally, the closer the crops are to maturity, the less serious the loss. Critical stages and temperatures for various major crops are described as follows.

A recall of sunflower seeds processed by a Minnesota company has widened even more, but the company itself says it’s cleaned up any potential source of food poisoning and started up operations again.

There’s grief but also gratitude as the stories of three people profiled in 2018 columns are updated.

Monsters of munch, champions of chomp. Dessert and snack menus actively promote textured toppings and blend-ins, too. Known for its frozen custard, Culver’s Restaurants, based in Prairie du Sac, Wis., regularly court crunch lovers with sweet specials like Chocolate Pretzel Crunch Frozen Custard with chopped Bavarian pretzels. Dairy Queen, which has also built a booming business on frozen treats, aggressively promotes movie tie-ins, like the current Jurassic Chomp Blizzard Treats. The chew factor here comes from chocolate-dipped peanut-butter bites — the largest mix-in the Edina, Minn.-based chain has ever introduced.
