Seattlest just got a beautiful 250ml bottle of Kemal Kükrer Nar Ekşisi, or pomegranate sour, in the mail--direct from Antalya, Turkey. We fell in love with this stuff on our recent sojourn to the Mediterranean when it was served to us as a salad dressing, diluted with a mild-tasting oil and poured over greens. Now that we have this entire bottle of sweet, tangy, thick, deeply pomegranatey essence here in Seattle, we're wondering what else we could use it for. Cocktails? Could we bake with it somehow? How could we use this with meat? Any ideas?

Well, cheaper than it was at its all-time high earlier this month. AAA says the average cost of a gallon of gas in Washington dropped by 12 cents since July 6th. While that sounds great on the surface, don't get too excited...even the cheaper gallon of gas in Washington costs 27 cents more than the national average. The most expensive gallon of gas in Washington can be found in Bellingham ($4.27 per gallon), while the cheapest fill-up is in Vancouver ($4.13 a gallon).

Where Paul Thomas Anderson's previous films are layered with multiple characters, dovetailing conflicts and weird kawinkydinks, his latest is refined, focused, and real-life unsettling. There Will Be Blood, an adaptation of Upton Sinclair's ever-topical 1927 novel Oil!, is just as skillfully orchestrated as Boogie Nights and Magnolia, but resonates more than a big-dick or raining-frogs story ever could.
