Get your vegan protein fix in this hearty, inventive take on spaghetti and meatballs. Each vegan ball is a bite-size nutritional powerhouse of flaxseeds, black beans, oats, and sunflower seed butter, only to be kicked up a nutritional notch with the accompanying seed butter sauce and fiber-rich carrot noodles.

This near-perfect execution of a creative scallop tartare is a far cry from classic café fare. At barely two weeks old, Mokonuts evolved into a full-fledged, reservations-required restaurant where, contrary to the formulaic Michelin-starred spots he worked at prior, Omar now prefers to make things up as he goes. And since he prioritizes sourcing his ingredients straight from local French farmers, he has little choice. Aside from the seasonality aspect—cepes in September, asparagus in April—he must contend with his neighbors’ selections, too.

For humans, we only use cottonseed oil, the processing of which negates the toxin. As a feedstock, cottonseed meal and crop residue is useful, but you have to be careful about rations to avoid toxicity. It’s safe for cattle, but not for hogs or poultry. You can let cattle graze a cotton field after harvest, but you don’t want to let your bull join in for a reason we’re about to get to. General signs of acute toxicity are similar among animal species and include respiratory distress, impaired body weight gain, anorexia, weakness, apathy, and death after several days.

The cool thing about watermelon is it’s pretty much a blank slate. It’s a dandy base for granita, Popsicles, and cocktails. Slice a big one in half, scoop out the guts and you have a seasonal punch bowl for your watermelon punch. Put cubes of it on skewers, along with other fruits and you have a fun and tasty snack for the kids. And, if you’re feeling adventurous, you can even carve one for some summertime fun. Once upon a time in cooking school, I carved a watermelon in the shape of the Titanic. True story. It was the late 1990s and the blockbuster movie had just come out. Leo and Kate were so young. Then again, so was I.

While the rotating confections on display at Mokonuts can’t rival traditional patisseries when it comes to quantity—this is not where you come to grab a dozen cookies for a picnic at Place des Vosges or a whole tarte to take to a soirée at a friend’s apartment—the individual slices of moist halvah cake with bits of cinnamon-coated pecans, or a fresh fig tarte oozing with sugary juices and topped with light-as-air mascarpone cream might make you think twice about popping yet another macaron.

Mesh or sock feeders are another means of offering nyjer seeds that are especially useful to the small clinging birds.

As in almost any given week, there were a series of racial events last week that became fodder for social media conversation. In addition to the 21 Savage/LeBron situation, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban’s comments about international players being more skilled than American-born players struck a nerve. Cuban added that American players are more focused on dunking and “put[ting] together mixtapes,” an assertion that made his comments seem more rooted in a disdain for black culture within the NBA. Mavericks forward Harrison Barnes, for one, was offended by the remark.

DEAR MARY: Dried, raw peas are included in some wild-bird and chicken feed, so the peas themselves wouldn’t be harmful. They might not be too appetizing, however, and probably only the larger birds in your yard would be able to digest them.
