Lovely piece! I love pomegranates, but they make so much mess. Yup, I'm choosing to blame the fruit, not me. I've always considered them luxurious, especially when they are sold already peeled and ready to be sprinkled—decadent.

As usual, a wonderful piece of writing from Rumaan, though I'm not a fan of either pomegranates or the husband and wife team who own the juice(POM) and probably own all the Pomegranates in the universe.

Thanks warren! I do think the pomegranate is a sort of polarizing fruit. They’re weird. But they are beautiful to look at. Anyway I can’t believe my kids were so into them

I do think breakfast is good for you although I work so much better if I don’t eat it! I love pomegranate.

I also work better when in that delicate territory of hunger and rage. Eating makes me sleepy and contented
