Celebrate National Pomegranate Month with a Holiday Giveaway

AboutPOM

It’s no secret that I have a soft spot in my heart for POM Wonderful.  Not only does the company produce some excellent, high quality products using sustainable business practices,  but the people behind the brand seem innovative, caring and very supportive of the food blogging community.  Their recent POM Wonderful Blogger Harvest Tour is a shining example of that.  Although, due to circumstances beyond my control (United Airlines Sucks), I didn’t actually get to attend the tour, Jeff and Andrea from POM Wonderful did everything they could to make me feel very much included in the festivities, including sending me a big package full of POM goodies afterward.

The pomegranate is an unusual, yet versatile fruit with many delicious and creative uses.  Its health benefits have been touted far and wide. Pomegranate juice is loaded with antioxidants – about three times more than are found in green tea or red wine. Antioxidants help to guard the body against the substances that can cause premature aging, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, cancer, and lots of other diseases or health conditions.  If that isn’t reason enough to indulge, there are scads of “wonderful” recipes using pomegranates and their juice.   The arils (seeds) are perfect for tossing in salads, stirring into yogurt, sprinkling over cereal or garnishing cocktails.  Pomegranate juice is ideal for glazes, cocktails and marinades. read more >>

The Lonesome Traveler Gets Grounded (or United Airlines Sucks)

Thursday, October 22, 2009 69 Comments

Do you remember the old United Airlines slogan “Fly the Friendly Skies”?  It was the tagline on most of the company’s advertising from 1966 to about 1996. They promised an idyllic in-flight experience comparable to what you might encounter at a 4-star resort.  Take a look:

Sheesh!  It’s unbelievable how long it took me to prepare this post!  It’s also unbelievable to find that after shooting almost 500 pictures, how few were actually usable!   Such is the cross of a food blogger, I guess.  But, I couldn’t not tell you about the rest of …

For this month’s Dinner and a Movie event, I’ve selected another one of my favorite films of all time – Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Released in 1961, Breakfast at Tiffany’s is an utterly delightful, yet occasionally dark film about life, love and following your dreams. It was …

I’m a professional musician, aspiring chef, wife, mother, daughter and sister, who used to be a lawyer in a previous life.
