Pomegranates

[Gamplayerx]

Mmm!  I love pomegranate.  So yummy and messy and fun to eat.  We rarely get them in the stores around here, but they're here now!  Yay!  I'm currently gleefully eating about 1/2 a pomegranate worth of seeds.

If you've never had pomegranate, you should.  Now. 

[Gamplayerx]

I know I had mentioned pomegranate somewhere before, but I was too lazy to search.  Plus, they really deserve their own thread.

Love them.  LOVE THEM.

They're messy and wonderful. 

Chill some vodka and freeze nice shot sized glasses.  Drop 8-10 pomegranate seeds into the glass, fill with the vodka and drink and eat.  YUM.

[Gamplayerx]

If I drank vodka, perhaps I'd try that.  You like to combine vodka and fruits, don't ya?

[dazie]

I'm up for combining vodka with just about anything.  I like it. 

But I can't take credit for that recipe- I got it from a Jamie Oliver cookbook.  Although he might have used gin.  Gross.

[Gamplayerx]

Who's Jamie Oliver?  And that's not cooking.

I don't see any naked!

[dazie]

Yeah- that was a bit of a letdown.  But he explained that the FOOD is naked, nothing poncey or frou frou about it.

Still- total misnomer.

[Gamplayerx]

So, he's a non-naked guy who doesn't cook and calls himself the naked chef?  I think we should get together a class action and sue!

[dazie]

He totally cooks!  But he also drinks.

He totally cooks!  But he also drinks. 

i hear he is the "Dane Cook" of the cooking world

[dazie]

Isn't he Jessica Simpson's newest?

[Alice]

Isn't he the one in the "feed me better" thread???

[dazie]

Yes.  I was looking for his website to show to Gamp and came across the Feed me Better one.

Yes but mine come with adortable reusable drinking glasses.  So EAT THAT.

I love the POM Juice in the cool curvy bottles.  But dang that stuff's expensive.

That has icky high fructose corn syrup in it.

I've had the cherry and blueberry.  They're very... juicy... and so I can only drink them in sips.
