Gentle Readers,
This year That Boy listened to his dad and let the pomegranates ripen on the tree before he picked them all.
Patience is a virtue.
What are they good for?
Although almost as difficult to eat as an artichoke, the seeds are delicious.
UPDATE: I ate an entire pomegranate this afternoon. It wasn't nearly as difficult as eating an artichoke. Mess? Si! Noisy? Si! Yummy? Si! Don't get the juice on a white shirt, Dude. Worse than red wine.
Pomegranate juice drizzled into the finished drink is what puts the sunrise in a Tequila Sunrise. Pomegranate juice defines a good Singapore Sling. Oprah makes an excellent pomegranate martini. King Solomon made spiced pomegranate wine. The Jewish culture holds that the 613 seeds found in a pomegranate represent the 613 commandments of the Torah.

And, get this: It is more than likely that Eve was offered a pomegranate from the Tree of Life by the serpent. Scoff if you will, but apples don't grow that well in Mediterranean climates.
