Absolutely my favorite way to use up leftovers! Turkey dinner poutine!
A black plate with french fries topped with cheese curds, dressing, turkey and turkey gravy. There is cranberry sauce and a glass of chocolate milk

I’ve been meaning to tell you, and now is the right time, that our favorite way to enjoy pomegranate seeds is in this dish, which you definitely measure with your heart:

• plain yogurt
• pomegranate seeds
• pistachios (shelled, of course)
• honey

It was the kind of sandwich that reminds you that a good one needs enough flavourful moisture as well as something pickled in addition to the starring ingredient(s).

I find that subscribing to certain recipe sites so I get their weekly ideas helps. My faves are Once Upon a Chef, Ambitious Kitchen, and Downshiftology.

This is a sandwich with mole rubbed braised brisket, feta, pickled onions, guacamole, chimmichurri aioli, and greens. Very delicious (at Laneway Café in Cumberland, British Columbia.

I never found this intersection worked well since the last major change, so this sounds promising.

Getting on the ferry on a cold, clear morning ⛴️
Red railing leading to very big ferry with people ahead. View of water to the side and front of the boat and glowing (from sun) mountains in the distance.
