I love pomegranate seeds. They give a nice sweet crunch in salads. And I like the juice too from fresh pomegranates. But I can’t stand the bottled POM juice. It takes like rotten grape juice…which I guess would be wine. lol.

Great story!! And I’ve loved pomegranates since I was a kid. Instead of Kool-Aid stains on my face, I had pomegranate stains.

Hey, Jen…
Thanks for posting on my website, I feel so honored!! Also, thanks for linking me in the Blog Pound. In my record search the other day, I came across an old 78 rpm and I thought of you. The song was called Walk, Jenny, Walk, and I would love to send this to you. Drop me an email if you are interested. twgill13@hotmail.com

It’s amazing your mom kept the attention of the class. My eyes would have glazed over. (It’s that mythology thing.) I guess she (and you) know how to keep one interested. Nice story. ‘Worth coming out of the bathroom for. Hi.

M: Are you kidding me? The stone soup story is brilliant, even with the puking! What a great idea (the soup, not the puking)!
C: Thanks! And I’d love to have seen that Martha – I need to know how to open one the right way. Probably involves some twisting.
S: See… I have a softer side, too, don’t I? And just like non-fat yogurt, in a few years they’ll probably determine that I cause cancer, too.
V: are you telling me you’ve never had a pomegranate? We’ll have to remedy that…
N: Aren’t there gypsies everywhere? My mother is Sicilian, so somewhere there’s a little bit of everyone’s blood flowing through her veins. Besides, I think gypsy is more a state of mind than anything else.

Were there gypsies in the US? I thought it was a central Europe thing.
Maybe we’re related. My mother once said that our ancestors were gypsies and I proudly paraded that little fact to all my kid friends. Then suddenly she changed her mind and started saying adamantly that they’re not. I think she’s lying. She has the look of a gypsy and I have the behaviors of one.

Dar Jenny,
Thank God! I’ve been trying to remember the word “pomegranate” all week!! I’ve been asking people the name for the red vegetable with seeds.They have repeating “tomato” to me like I’m not a native English speaker.
It’s a fruit! Who knew!
Did your mom REALLY come to your class to tell Greek Myths? What a cool mom you have.
Love,
Vivian

How positively beautiful! Just when I think I know what to expect here, you prove me wrong. In a good way. You know, like finding out that the ice cream you just indulged in was actually no-fat frozen yogurt only you never noticed the difference because it tasted THAT good?
