Then the adolescent, full of it's importance....
Finally the adult, full grown, ready for it's mature fate........
And finally, it's ultimate fate....a reduction sauce.
Thanks to L. and the pomegranate tree in her yard. Before this I had no idea about the stages of this odd fruit.
Careful now, for every seed you eat is a month in the Underworld. At least when you come back everything blossoms with the promise of spring.
ReplyDeleteThere I go again with the Geek mythology...
coupled with my other transgressions, I better pack a lawn chair and lunch when I go.
DeleteYum. Looks good! Thought of you last night while watching food porn. The show was Unique Sweets and they were covering places in Seattle, which we recently talked about. Frans chocolates, Dahlia's Bakery and something with the word "crumble" in it. I was ready to get on a plane.
ReplyDeleteBeen to Dahlia's, my fav is the 'Honey Bear' over by our old house near Green Lake.
DeleteI have a pomegranate tree in a large pot I've been growing from a little sprout. It's about 4 ft tall now and 6 or so years old, but I've never had any flowers or fruit. How old does the tree have to be before they begin to flower? Or maybe it should be planted in the ground?
ReplyDeleteIn any case, congratulations on your harvest! That's very cool.
PS...The flowers are gorgeous, almost worth the growing of them even without the fruit!
DeleteDunno, L.'s is in the front yard near the house, it's maybe 7 or so feet tall and fairly bushy. At present it is full of flowers and growing fruit.
DeleteDinner is served and looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteDoes, alas it wasn't mine.
DeleteWhat? She teases you with steak and asparagus and you don't get any? What a gyp.
ReplyDeleteexactly
DeleteMostly via Susan I am dropping by now and then, mostly too lazy for a comment I am. Time for a second one, eh?
ReplyDeleteWhy would I drop by now and then? Because most of what you are telling, for me is interesting. Thank you.
The peace of the night.
Welcome.
DeleteAs for the night, I'll settle for only having to pee once.
Thanks for the welcome.
DeleteAren't almost all of us nightly cekeepers, at least now and then?
I`ve seen these in the grocery store at christmas, but had no idea about how they came to be. Fascinating!
ReplyDeleteThe fruit starts as a little bulge at the base of the red flower and grows. Pretty cool.
DeleteThat's interesting. I love pomegranates, except for how difficult they are to deconstruct.
ReplyDeleteIt always seemed somewhat unseeming to do that much spitting.....
