Crazy concoctions: Cool off with the new drinks of summer | Black Watermelon Seeds

Meanwhile, boil a kettle. Put the dried mushrooms in a mug and cover with 250ml boiled water. Leave to soak.  Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large saucepan. Fry the diced onion on a low heat for 10 mins, stirring now and then to prevent it from sticking. 

This story begins on a warm March Day after cross county skiing. We were coming out of a snowy winter, but pumpkin season was fast approaching. This particular patch rested for three years,  and we had high hopes. Time to shovel off an area to install soil heating cables and a hoop house.

They tried winter wheat for many years in the 2000’s. Scott developed a market for a soft winter wheat that would end up in granola bars. The payback for the farmers was great and everything looked good on paper.

James took to his Instagram Stories on Dec. 21 to post several videos of himself listening to 21 Savage’s recent album, i am > i was. Savage, one of the more prolific and fascinating young artists in rap, is evolving. Early reviews of the album hail the East Atlanta artist as “better than he’s ever been.” James’ reactions to Savage’s cuts tended to agree. One LBJ IG story featured the NBA’s fifth-leading scorer of all time vibing out to the song “asmr.” The title is an allusion to autonomous sensory meridian response, which “describes a feeling of euphoric tingling and relaxation that can come over someone when they hear incredibly quiet sounds, such as whispering, clicking, and chewing.” The record contains the lyrics, which James reposted on the clip, We been gettin’ that Jewish money, everything is Kosher.

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

When he joined the Miami Heat eight years ago, James ushered in the age of player empowerment. “The Decision,” originally lambasted for the perceived selfishness of the then-25-year-old James and the same core group of friends he keeps near him today, completely shifted NBA power and culture. James isn’t the only one responsible for this freewheeling, free-dealing entertainment and socially conscious apex that the league currently benefits from financially and imagewise — but he is a conductor. Even at a stone’s throw away from 34, LeBron is still very much the straw that stirs the NBA’s global drink.

“Dill Atlantic Giants are much larger than your traditional pumpkins,” he said. “The potential for massive size is just so much greater than what you would find in a standard variety. You could get the seeds from one of those pumpkins, put them in the best garden in the world, and they’re still unlikely to get over 100 pounds.”

Peel, halve and finely slice the onion. Peel and finely chop or crush 1 large or 2 small garlic cloves. Pick the leaves off enough thyme sprigs so you have 1 good tablespoon worth. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a flameproof casserole, one with a lid (or use a saucepan, then transfer to a casserole or baking dish, using foil to cover).

“To say there are no other crops that a farmer could grow in Half Moon Bay is ridiculous,” said Virginia Turezyn, who works at a business advisory firm and is running for city council on the same ballot as Measure GG. “They could grow Brussels sprouts. They can grow other stuff. . . . Everybody thinks [cannabis] is a cure-all and a panacea, but I’ve read tons of research that highlights tons of negative implications for the community, for crime, for youth and for the stench.”

The seedless melons sure are easier to eat and cut up for fruit salads. But they somehow don’t taste the way they did when seed-spitting contests were the highlights of our summers.

Fill a medium-size bowl with water, and add salt until water is heavily salted. Place seeds in the bowl, and let sit for 1-2 hours.
