Fortunately, the biggest crisis so far today.
I remember when I was a kid, and went to Zamprini's Fruit Market and bought pomegranates, cut them with my scout knife, and ate them like orange slices.
So, now, Aldi's has been selling them for $.49, and am reliving my childhood 70 years ago. The problem is that I am eating them the way I did in those days, and hard as I try, the kitchen ends up looking like a scene from a chainsaw massacre. So much juice that splashes up, it takes 15 minutes to clean up the "blood". I slice off a chunk and then bite in... seeds, white stuff and whatever else is inside. The cutting and the chomping results in a bloodbath for the counter, wall, and whatever is within a three foot circle.
DW is now requiring that all Pomegranate eating be done in the shower. This will dilute the sparkly taste, so I am looking for another way to eat this poetic fruit:
I felt my heart crack slowly like a pomegranate, spilling its seeds.”
