| Pomegranate |
Daughter and I picked the first pomegranate from the tree in the garden, yesterday. I cut it and removed the seeds for us to enjoy and forgot to photograph the cut fruit.
This morning, I picked another one and cut it:

Perfectly ripe and tangy sweet. Full of vitamin C, too.
I added a few seeds to a glass of water to make some infused water.

Have you tried pomegranates? Do you like them?
Hi Bless! How are you feeling?
ReplyDeleteWhen I think of pomegranates I think of my paternal grandmother. She was always introducing us to new and interesting foods. I remember being fascinated by her eating the pomegranate seeds and how it stained her fingers a pretty red color. When I finally got brave enough to try it out for myself, I loved the taste of the juice from the seeds! I can't remember the last time I ate one- maybe 20 years ago? Making flavored water is a really good idea! I think I am going to have to pick up a pomegranate next time I am in the store- just thinking about it makes me feel like I can still taste it. :)
Keeping you and Little Miss Bless in my thoughts and prayers, my friend. XOXO
Hi Dawn, I am feeling OK, thank you. Still recovering from the surgery, but getting back to normal. This is the season for pomegranates, so, I hope you are able to find them easily. I hope you find them just as sweet as they tasted back when you had them last. Thank you for thinking of us and keeping us in your prayers. I hope all is well with you and your family.
DeleteNever had a pomegranate. It a a good idea to put in the water though and give it a bit of a different taste
ReplyDeleteJess, maybe, someday, you might decide to try a pomegranate. Flavored water is nice, especially when it is iced.
DeleteInfused water is a great idea! And you can change the fruit, for a little variety. You're doing so well at planning ahead. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Carolyn. I am trying to prepare for what's coming. :)
DeleteI guess I first saw a pomegranate when my widowed mother bought one when I was a child. I'm sure they were a luxury in England, but I guess she felt it was time for an unusual treat. They really are a pretty fruit when cut open.
ReplyDeleteLook after yourself and don't overdo things. You are preparing well for each stage of your journey. I admire your courage and resourcefulness. Still ever in my prayers, your daughter, too.
Bushlady.
Thank you, Bushlady. For me, growing up in the tropics, it was the imported apples and grapes that were the luxury fruits! Then, the government banned all imported fruits as an austerity measure and apples and grapes became just a memory, until years later. :)
DeleteHi, How did you find driving? Are you past the 'discomfort' stage?
ReplyDeleteI think it's wonderful that you grow pomegranates. So healthy, I hope you'll de-seed, juice and freeze to enjoy all through winter. We too enjoyed the pomegranate juice vendors on the streets in S E Asia. We'd hustle back to the apartment, add a cup of yogurt, few ice cubes + the pom juice [squeeze of honey if needed] in blender/whizzer for the best Smoothie imaginable.
Take care, get more rest than you think you need because your body heals while you're at rest. honest...
Hi Hon. The driving went well. No problems. There is still a slight amount of discomfort, but it should be fine in another couple of days, I think. Thanks for the reminder to rest. :)
DeleteForgot to mention .... Your plates are lovely! Such a cheerful floral pattern. :)
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, thank you! I'll let you in on a secret - I bought them, several years ago, from a discount store for $1 each! :D There were 4 plates and I bought all 4; one broke and now I have 3 left.
