Last week I found some fuyu persimmons for a decent price at a grocery store near my apartment, so bought a bunch of them. They were still firm when I brought them home, but after a day or two they were going soft. I prefer fuyu persimmons when they are crisp, so I started making persimmon smoothies with the softer ones, for a change.

Pomegranate love
I’m really enjoying the wonderful pomegranates available now. They are not local if you’re in Canada, but they are in season somewhere, and are in all the grocery stores and markets.
Local or not, I’ve been enjoying pomegranates. The last one I bought was sweet and flavourful. I ate most of the arils on top of numerous bowls of oatmeal and oatbran.
This is a pleasing combination for me: the sweet, juicy pomegranate arils enliven the comforting warmth of the oatmeal. I also used some vanilla almond milk, to make it nice and creamy. It’s a wonderful start to the day!
Have you been eating pomegranates this season? What do you do with them?
love,

Killer pumpkin waffles. Try them.
This past weekend I thought that making pumpkin waffles would be a good way to use up some leftover pumpkin puree that has been sitting in the fridge, so I began searching for a recipe. Before long I stumbled upon a blog called ‘Pumpkin Waffles Blog’, and after reading the comments on his Ultimate Pumpkin Waffles recipe, I knew I had to try them.
They did not disappoint! They are the best-textured waffle I’ve had, period. They have a lot more pumpkin than most recipes I looked at, and the flavour is perfectly balanced. Yum.

Earthly delights.
These are a few photos from one of my (almost weekly) trips to Montreal’s Botanical Gardens. It is one of my favorite places to read and drink thermos-tea in this city, especially during summer and fall. (more…)
