SOMA Sandwich Land: Turkey Cran

There is nothing more simple and delicious than a roasted turkey sandwich.  It's a classic.  I like mine with extra red onions, extra mayo on an extra crunchy or toasted roll.  The secret ingredient is always cranberry jelly.  Extra on that too, please my Sandwich Samuri of San Francisco.  Looks like I may have had some hot peppers added to this edition as well.

While I lived in SOMA, there was little in the way of healthy food nearby but there was Ted's Market.  Thank God for Ted's.  If its a weekend and you need sandwiches for a picnic or trip to the beach or park - drive to Ted's.  Thank me later.

For more Ted's news and Reviews surf over to Yelp.  Seems like the key-take away is to go early during the week.  Weekends are much more manageable.

The Bloody Pilgrim

Sloe Gin, a gin liqueur with a curious creation process. I've had it in mixed drinks but I'm on a mission to find either an artisanal maker or a Plymouth Gin "authentic" import. I'm going to need you for this years Thanksgiving Cocktail of choice: The Bloody Pilgrim. This is also called the "Gin and Cranberry" by the clearly uninspired bartenders of Plymouth Gin's posse.

Here is the recipe. Direct Link is here.
