I had a rough meeting at work the other day. I needed out of the office so I decided to take a trip to the local whole foods to look for cranberry beans. Well, when I got there they only had canned cranberry beans. That didn't sound fun at all so I decided to take a stroll and see what I would come up with. My bag included ...
Pita chips for lunch
Two cans of San Marzano tomatoes - which are destined for a puttenesca sauce and homemade pasta
One quart kumquats
One pomegrante
Satisfied with my trip I went back to work. But the real satisfaction came when I got home. I showed the kids what I got and you would have thought it was an early Christmas. The cheers over a fresh pomegrante filled the kitchen.
Pomegrantes are an activity in our house. Peeling them open, getting the seeds and then refereeing all the kids grabbing the jewels as if they were real jewels and the one with the most had their college fund all secure. It is a messy and time consumming affair, but it is the longest they sit at the table and they are devouring one of the most nutritious fruits known to man. No more satification than that.
Now, off to make cookies.
Two days until Christmas - fingers crossed I get that camera!
