I promised him that they were delicious, and prepared one for him. Honestly, it was the rankest thing I have ever tasted, I don't know what happened. I haven't been able to convince Andy to try another one. I certainly wish I hadn't peeled the entire thing before trying it that time!!HazelxJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438389465030714608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-24937997408201853152018-05-06T15:15:22.829+01:002018-05-06T15:15:22.829+01:00Thank you.Thank you.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-43902636583055202952018-05-06T14:23:29.100+01:002018-05-06T14:23:29.100+01:00Good luck! :)Good luck! :)Nikki - Notes of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116292112164268244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-62562342255495757952018-05-04T22:44:05.513+01:002018-05-04T22:44:05.513+01:00Those ticks are appearing slowly but surely.Those ticks are appearing slowly but surely.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-40313791827260575762018-05-04T22:42:51.488+01:002018-05-04T22:42:51.488+01:00Congrats on the achievement, another one crossed o...Congrats on the achievement, another one crossed off the list.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13863899802782756191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-38603263150737377432018-05-04T15:27:56.348+01:002018-05-04T15:27:56.348+01:00The great thing is that there's so many differ...The great thing is that there's so many different fruits about these days than there were looking back to my childhood, though I always remember my grandma buying me pomegranates and giving me a pin to pick the seeds out with.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-44262634239086999972018-05-04T15:24:40.165+01:002018-05-04T15:24:40.165+01:00pomegranate?
