It was grown by a grower of Steve geddes From N.H. pic.twitter.com/B2aSKqYsKp

Brandon Gauthier may or may not appreciate the term. But it’s the best way I can think to encapsulate the quality and character of Confluence, his mature and exciting first solo venture.

The Half Moon Bay ordinance was written in a way that would benefit only three farms, including the Mullers’. They needed just three votes, and they would be in business.

Watermelon seeds can help improve brain health. This is another one of the benefits of watermelon seeds. They can help boost memory, prevent inflammation and even reduce epileptic seizures. This is because they contain a couple of nutrients that are helpful to brain health. First and foremost they contain lycopene which is a carotenoid. Carotenoids are the plant pigments that make them red or yellow or orange. They protect the fat in the body. The brain is made up of mostly fat and is high in Omega 3. It can, therefore, be affected by free radicals resulting in inflammation. Studies have shown that patients suffering from Alzheimer’s and those with slight cognitive impairment (e.g. the forgetfulness in seniors) have low levels of lycopene in their bloodstream.

Half Moon Bay’s city council, on which Muller and Adreveno had served for years, met the evening of June 5. On the agenda: an ordinance that would allow certain farms with existing greenhouses to grow young marijuana plants.

The study took place in Tanzania, but the problem is by no means isolated there. Chronic exposure to aflatoxin causes an estimated 25,000-155,000 deaths worldwide each year from corn and peanuts alone.

“Do you think my men are going to work for $12 an hour if the guy next door is paying $20?” Figone asked, appearing to inflate the cost. “I’m going to have to match that pay.”

“I do not like sweet pastry crust, or pâte sucrée,” which is almost always present in Parisian pastry-shop tarts,” says Moko. “I like desserts to accentuate the sweetness of natural fruits, so I try to accomplish that by using honey or light fruit jam.”

Over the past several years, the Youngs have tinkered, through hand-pollination, with new varieties which they hope will yield fruit that are predictably round, orange and sturdy. And big.

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.

There’s a club for people who like to grow mammoth produce, the Pacific Northwest Giant Pumpkin Growers.
