I’m feeling a bit restricted in the kitchen lately as I wait for my oven to get fixed. No roasting, baking, broiling…I’m coping, somehow.  One happy discovery – frozen pizza is excellent on the BBQ.

Thank goodness my stovetop still works! So, on this otherwise lazy Sunday I’m trying out two recipes I’ve discovered recently;

pickled red onions, thanks to watching the Food Network on a sick day,

and pomegranate molasses, which is a vital component in my friend’s mashed sweet potatoes, brought over for a recent potluck. I plan to make the sweet potatoes for Christmas dinner.

Everything is very red today – red onions, red wine vinegar, ruby red pomegranate juice.
