Pomegranates are such a magical fruit. Smooth and conservative on the outside, once you split it open though, a lurid flood of color hits your eye. Perfect for Coconut Israeli Couscous Studded with Pomegranate.
Out The Door…Meh
Hanoi Beef Noodle Soup and the Sauteed Shrimp with Vermicelli, a steal deal for the Ferry Building in San Francisco, but kind of a jip for Vietnamese food.

Skinny Banana Chocolate Malt Milkshake
I recently saw a jar of Chocolate Malt Ovaltine in the supermarket and was reminded of the delicious banana chocolate milkshakes I used to make after school. The chocolate malt and banana is a classic combo that will always satisfy my sweet tooth.

From NOLA fries of thick, golden, wedges of starchy goodness to the Crawfish with Remoulade full of succulent bits of crawfish meat coated in a crunchy cornmeal crust... of course, the classic favorite, the Debris Po’ Boy, a monster sandwich of roast beef and gravy!
Hawaiian Lehua Honey & Sweet Cream
Buttery, sweet cream swirled with satiny ribbons of honey beyond your wildest imagination of what honey could taste or feel like on your tongue. The texture of the Lehua honey is unreal – more like honey cream. The flavor…makes you think bees have it made.
