Today we saw the sun!
It has been hiding all week and
we were ready for a dose.
The high temp. today was 12 degrees,
but the sun made it feel warmer,
maybe a whooping 20 degrees.
These Staffordshire pups were happy to nap in the sun.
Pomegranate 101 is my little bit of That
Pretty random subject change…
I have friends who are amazed when I tell them about this
little trick. I love pomegranates but I hate wrestling with them and having
my fingers turn a bright pink.
So here goes:
Cut your pomegranate in half.
Break it up and put it in a bowl and fill it with water.
Once filled break up the pomegranate even more.
Keep your fingers underwater (no pink fingers)
The seeds float to the bottom the rest floats to the top.
Skim the skin off the top.
Drain the pomegranate seeds in a colander
and WaLA ready for any recipe or just to munch on.
One of my favorite ways to use these is in
a salad of fresh greens, blue cheese, toasted pecans
topped of with pomegranates.
Now on to my next random thought:
I had my annual mammogram this past week, the technician
gave me this lovely rose as a reward for all the squishing and squashing.
So I’m sending you a little reminder to make sure you schedule
your annual mammogram.
Enough of the random thoughts.
Enjoy your weekend, stay warm and thanks for visiting!
Enjoy!

Kelley I love that vignette in your first photo. Gorgeous!
What a great tip on the pomegranate harvesting. I love these things. Especially this time of year.
Have a wonderful and chilly weekend. We seem to be having exactly the same weather. We are getting a break from the cold next week though.

Oh gosh you really know how to present. That pomegranant (oops, spelling) is so gorgeous! The rose, a beautiful reminder of something serious and unpleasant! Oh Kelley, we are in such a deep freeze here as well! Take care dearest! Anita
Good for you! for getting your Mama gram~~I know I did mine before the new year:)
OK, I am so excited about the pomegranates! I can do this! I can't wait to try:)
Warm Hugs from Cali..glad you had a little sun this past week.

Kelly dear, thanks for risking the cold winds and coming my way out northeast! Brrrr....you stay warm too! How those horses stay sane in this bitterness is a mystery to me!
Bisous, Anita
