This isn't the first time I'm written about my love affair with leftovers. In my house, we always have food leftover from dinner; often, Mr. Cafe Kim and I will use it to make sandwiches for lunch the next day.

November 12, 2009 at 12:00 PM by Cafe Kim - Comments (5)
During the fall, we eat a lot of pomegranates in my house—sprinkled over salads, mixed into yogurt, in cranberry sauce. I love the taste, and it's a great source of antioxidants. But removing the seeds from the pomegranate is tricky business...
