Hey, food grows in New Mexico too!
So, when I was in high school my mom planted a pomegranate tree in our back yard. I remembered this yesterday and went to check on it. To my great excitement there were half a dozen ripe fruits ready for picking. So, now that I have learned about gardening and eating from the earth, I picked them. I was going to make ice cream, but that seemed a bit risky (I just started this whole eating from the earth thing, I'll work up to the ice cream :-] ). Instead, I made pomegranate juice. Here is my documentation.
The tree...
The seeds...
I put the seeds in a food processor (not for very long, just enough to break the juice pods) then strained it and squeezed a lot to get all the juice out. Four small to medium fruits gave me half a cup of juice. Mix with water and sugar and voila!
This makes me think. If food grows in Arizona and New Mexico, I bet it grows in New Hampshire too... Excellent!

Today Aaron and I were driving back from picking up rocks and we were talking about the garden. I said, "Isn't it magical that things grow from tiny seeds?" He said, "No, Harry Potter is magical." I said, "I think that the garden is just as magical as Harry Potter" and we both fell silent.
i can picture that conversation perfectly :) ...thank god for magic.
