Grandma had a pomegranate tree. She was excited when it blossomed, like a birth announcement of fruit. She lovingly would pick the ripe ones and place them in a gorgeous bowl centered on the dining room table- the cherry wood one that was saved for special occasions. When she shared a pomegranate, it was an event, like a tea party with the Queen! I can still see her hands delicately holding the jewel-like rind, a Faberge Egg that had to be opened for the best effect. She gave the fruit significance! Perfect rubies held tight and we were like miners, picking out the biggest and the best, only to pop them in our mouths! Tart, sweet, a satisfying pop of flavor and texture! And when she gave one to me to take home, to entrust me to carry on without her supervision... I woke up with pomegranates on my mind. But I am really just missing my Grandma.
