The Québécois classic poutine demands fresh, squeaky cheese curds, which are difficult to find in Alaska.   Jeff Lockwood takes matters into his own hands, transforming two gallons of milk into a pile of curds, then using them in a smoked-salmon-chowder-inspired poutine, in an attempt to provide a karmic boost to the Montréal Canadiens in their unlikely run to the Stanley Cup Finals.

Vinegar's much more than a component of vinaigrette.  Jeff Lockwood turns it into a beverage, a barbecue sauce, and a quick pickle.
