The world’s largest pumpkin has arrived at the New York Botanical Gardens in the Bronx to live out the rest of its epic life.The 2,528 pound squash is the largest pumpkin  ever grown in North America. Grown by Steve Geddes in New Hampshire, the pumpkin is a pale orange and weighs the equivalent of two adult grizzly bears.

La Sirène Brewing Citray Sour Nick Connellan, publications director The tart, puckering flavours found in sour beers aren’t everyone’s idea of a good time. But much like Boatrocker’s delicate, raspberry-infused Miss Pinky before it, this beer is poised to convert non-believers. The sourness is mild and totally in balance, as is the citrus-y tang of real oranges. And perhaps more importantly, you can plausibly drink a sixpack in a single sitting.

Turn the heat up and fry for 2-3 minutes until the garlic and chestnuts are golden brown and the sage leaves have crisped up. Add a good squeeze of lemon juice. Take the pan off the heat.

Why do sunflower seeds have shells in the first place, you may ask?

After 8 minutes, add the sprouts and sage leaves to the leek. Fry, stirring, for 4 minutes. Meanwhile, drain the borlotti beans into a colander and rinse under cold water. Roughly chop half the pack of chestnuts into half’s or quarter’s.

Hernandez said it has been used as a food by the Totonacas, an indigenous group in the Mexican Veracruz region who use the protein-rich kernel meal in traditional dishes such as tamales and pipián.

Milois often used as a filler seed in cheaper seed mixes. The seed shell is too hard for most birds to crack. Wheat and oats are also common filler ingredients in cheap mixes. Read seed mix labels and avoid blends that contain cereal grains.
