Opinion | The Pain of the Watermelon Joke | Quality Sunflower Seeds Kernel

This is the most addictive substance legally available in our country and we all are guilty of consuming it!

After weeks of trying to talk pastry chefs into taking her on without any formal training, Blé Sucré’s Fabrice Le Bourdat (formerly of the luxurious restaurant at the Hôtel Le Bristol, now baker of the city’s fluffiest, sugar-glazed madeleines) gave her a shot as an unpaid intern. “He said, ‘If you want to come in and work at four in the morning for free, sure!’” says Moko, laughing. Folding temperature-­controlled dough over and over again to make croissants wasn’t for her, though, so she decided to try restaurant pastry instead, and went to apprentice at Alain Senderens’ two-Michelin-starred Lucas Carton.

Now that we’re officially into summer (hip hip hurrah!) watermelon is a constant in the shopping cart.

To that end, the maximum number and variety of birds are attracted to the widest range of bird feeders constantly filled with a widest range of appropriate, quality food in the most welcoming habitat.

Four of their five pumpkins split before they could be harvested, including one destined for the Saratoga weigh-off that totaled 1,052 pounds.

Is the water hot because of what LeBron quoted? Or also because LeBron, who also has 41.8 million followers at his @KingJames Twitter handle, is the most influential athlete in all of sports — one whose messages resonate in far bigger arenas than the ones he dominates for his day job? On and off the court, LeBron makes international news. He’s been an economic and cultural force since he was in high school. Today, he’s a cultural and political gatekeeper — at icon status. When posting, he speaks to more than a hundred million people (he has platforms beyond Twitter and IG), and James lives a version of The Truman Show. But, despite Avenger-like feats on the court, even this deep into a career, he is still human.

Add a little slug of oil and stir well. Heat until it starts to bubble. Add enough water to come about a third of the way up. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes, until the cabbage is tender. If it is done before your gratin, it can be reheated to serve.

Here in Half Moon Bay, 130 miles west, John Muller’s plans are straining the entire city, pitting neighbor against neighbor, past against future. The choice is about more than farming and economics, reaching into the community’s sense of values. Voters must decide whether to welcome commercial cannabis inside their community and help the farm or stand firm against marijuana and possibly smash the Mullers’ pumpkin business.

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.
