Akron, OH: Beside the Point Café
May 19, 2007
Listen to this feature (How to listen)
The Sterns finally ran onto Belgian waffles worthy of Michael's endorsement at Beside the Point Café. Maybe it's because they're made in waffle irons imported from Liege, Belgium, or maybe it's the incredibly delicious toppings like the homemade cinnamon apples with caramel syrup that Jane loves. Whatever the reason, these waffles are sublime!
Beside the Point is a wonderfully unusual boutique-style grocery store with an in-house chocolatier and kitchen department. The coffee is good and the brownies are killers.

Pumpkin Black Bean Soup
This thick, rich soup is delicious on a chilly fall day or a perfect accompaniment to your holiday turkey – especially if you or someone you love is a vegetarian.
Serves: 6-8
Prep time: 60 minutes
Cook time: 45 minutes
INGREDIENTS
3 cans (43.5 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
1 can (16 ounces) pumpkin puree
1/2 cup chopped shallot or red onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 tablespoons olive or canola oil
4 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
3 tablespoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

INSTRUCTIONS
Tip: You can add less vegetable broth to create a thicker soup and substitute 1/2 stick of margarine for oil, if preferred.
Tip: Use an emersion blender to simplify the process. You can puree the ingredients together inside the pot you’re using to cook the soup, instead of using the food processor.
Tip: To bake pumpkin seeds follow the simple instructions in this Great Pumpkin article.
