You can find anything on the Internet. I know this very consciously, but every day I find new reminders. For example, I bought a pomegranate today. Since it was my first one, I didn’t know how to free its tasty insides from its armored outsides. I thought, “This is a job for The Internet!” Sure enough, I found a guide to opening pomegranates. Within minutes, I was eating juicy, delicious pomegranate arils (see, I even learned a new word).
It seems that if you have a problem, someone else has had it too, and has written about it. Without the Internet, I’d have a lot more unresolved problems than I do today. Plus, I’d be stained with pomegranate juice because I wouldn’t know enough to hold it underwater while opening it up.
pfft i knew that for the past 5 years 🙂
and i can’t believe you didn’t try them before! my favourite food ever. really. i mean archive.org has it somewhere. really! (i think 😛 )
and i dont think it is a coincidence that pomegranate season coincides with my birthday. yeahup.
We had a plant of those back in Argentina, but we never ate them. However, they made for great things to throw at pesky cats eyeing my birdcage and its content 😛
As for the internet…..ahh yes, the elemental tool of the information age. However…..not everyone bothers to look things up.
Kevin, your blog just experienced a space-time anomaly that converged two extremes of the internet here at precisely 7:26.
yea the grocery store I shop at have a huuuge poster with “how to eat a pomegranate” illusrated instructions next to where they’re sold 🙂
wow.. I don’t think I’ve ever been told how to do it… i just got handed a pomegranate once and i cut it into quaters and just pulled and picked at it… which is why i found recipes involving pomegranate ridiculous – I wouldn’t want to go through all that work and not eat as I go!! (and make a big mess as I go…)
i love pomergranates.. I’ve only had 3 this season, because I am lazy… but I’ve been a big fan since I was like 4 and we had them at the “messy station” at day care one day..
DINY ITS A SIGN OF THE AGES
(really, i am just following you around)
