This weekend I tried a pomegranate for the very first time. I enjoy exploring the realm of food. Josh tells me I'm a weirdo, but sometimes, even though I detest coffee, I like to taste it just so that I can remember its bitterness. I just like experiencing tastes. As with scents, I feel it engages memory and connects a person to nature.
And so, the pomegranate, my most recent food adventure...
Peeling it was a rather gory process. The fruit sort of bled everywhere, squirting onto the floor, the countertops, my dogs (who were investigating), and me. The luscious red juice inspired this outfit. (Inspiration strikes at strange moments for me.)
As I was carving out the innards of the fruit, I felt like I was opening a honeycomb and plucking out all the bee larvae. Creepy, I know. I was surprised I felt like eating it after such a comparison.

Sexy Ass Boots (with 4" heel, mind you)//Ross

Love this color cardigan, it's lovely with your dress.
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan of pomegranate seeds, especially in salads. My aunt always puts them in her fruit salads (because they don't turn brown) I don't think I've ever cut on up before though. That's not quite what I expected them to look like.
Oh, I love your pomegranate story, with accompanying photos. Like Loren, I don't think I've seen a fresh one cut up - they are quite a beautiful color, aren't they? Love your outfit, your earrings are fab.
ReplyDeletethanks for linking up with Visible Monday!
What a wonderful inspiration story! haha. I am normally not very adventuresome when it comes to food, and that fruit does look a tad bit scary! But I really the outfit is created, seriously, one of the best over all outfits I have seen in a while. I adore every single piece. Especially the boots! Adorable. :)

I certainly see the pomegranate inspiration and I like it. This dark red color looks wonderful on you.
ReplyDeleteMmm as much as I love pomegranates I have never actually dissected one myself but I love getting my hands messy so will have to try! I love how your outfit inspiration came from fruit-beautiful colour!
ReplyDeleteI just found you through Amber! I love your blog! And I have so many funny stories about pomegranates! Maybe I'll share them one day?
ReplyDeleteyou look so classy and elegant yet girly with the red cardi and tights. always like your vintage style. Pomegranates are very difficult fruits to eat, my kids always ask if they can swallow the seeds. Even the name is so hard to pronounce and spell, poor fruit. At least it's high in anti-oxidants. Wonder how they make the juice

Wonderful! I love your attitude. Adventurousness in eating as well as everything else is highly necessary for real happiness in life, I think. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your amazing hair and a white colored dress paired with a maroon cardigan is beautiful. Pomegranates are AMAZING!
