I smiled at the picture of you eating in the tub. :) I like to have a cup of hot tea while I'm in the tub.

They remind me of Christmas as We'd get them on that holiday, often added to festive salads. I love their jewel like quality, and tart sweet astringent taste. The sister science to yoga, Ayurveda says many beneficial things about pomegranates, you might find this article interesting!<br />http://ayurhelp.com/articles/power-packed-pomegranate-ayurveda-view<br />PS I love those kantha stitched quilts as well! <br />DMWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-60694225141924373712018-03-24T11:06:56.839+00:002018-03-24T11:06:56.839+00:00Ah — the baleful power of Mammon's extending s...Ah — the baleful power of Mammon's extending slime mould!

Or on those aweful foam trays that aren't recyclable and THEN wrapped in plastic. <br />I think they do it just to spite us. I imagine there is some evil suit type relishing the idea of the existential crisis grocery shopping causes the ecologically inclined.

I think she mentioned it being in the bath. She liked to encourage people to "live juicy". Your story reminds me of that. But pomegranates are rather biblical I think. I always imagine the "apple" of the tree of knowledge to be a pomegranate.

We can actually buy them that way in our supermarket; they sell them in little plastic pots. Part of my plastic-free efforts includes buying the actual pomegranate, though that doesn't always work because while some are just loose in the world, others come fastened in a plastic tray. But of course for taking them to an elderly relative, breaking up the fruit and putting the seeds into a bowl beforehand is an excellent idea. Or you could make him sit in the bath.Pen Wilcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818227904371811230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-7880752900756953132018-03-23T16:56:54.239+00:002018-03-23T16:56:54.239+00:00This is an especially grand post, Pen.

What a treasure those seeds were! <br /><br />I am always up to my elbows in juice and anything but dainty when I am through...perhaps I shall have to try your bath method. ;)<br /><br />For me pomegranates are linked with my dad. He enjoys them a lot--and so far as I know I gave him his first taste. He finds them too messy and too much bother though. I occasionally surprise him with just the seeds in a bowl since then he can eat them with a spoon in delight. I haven't done that in a while now. Overdue. I'll have to remember it next visit.BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06449967376288331137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-51209500283950285452018-03-23T13:40:08.520+00:002018-03-23T13:40:08.520+00:00My personal feeling is that there will be pin wome...My personal feeling is that there will be pin women and there will be bath women, and you just have to know which you are.
