DO NOT BUY POM!!!

you have a trader joes in MPLS now, right? go there and get a big bottle of their pomegranate juice - it costs about four bucks, which is less than half the price of the same size container of POM, and about a dollar more than a single serving bottle of POM.

Does a thread about pomegranate smoothies sound incredibly gay to you?

the trader joes here is over in st. louis park...i don't wanna go all the way over there. why couldn't they have turned the building that's gonna be a lund's (and was supposed to open this past spring but has been pushed back to next year, even ) that's nearby my house into a trader joes instead?!

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

for real?! thanks for the tip. i get some of the best information from ORG folks.

Anx said:

And are you saying that all lovers of pomegranate smoothies are gay? How incredibly offensive.

This. was. a. joke.

HMPH!!!!

did you ASK?!?

Anx said:

I did not. But I was being a gracious guest. I couldn't just barge in and say Let me see your cat...make me a smoothie...put on that wonder woman costume...show me your wreckas! now that would have been rude

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

is your TJs reachable by public transpo at all? cuz it's a bit of a schlep for me to get to our closest one, but it's totally worth it. some of their stuff is WAY cheaper than regular grocery stores, like the pomegranate juice for example. i just make a monthly or so pilgramage.

superspaceboy said:

and i was a gracious host - when you brought those kids and the pinata in, i didn't bat a lash.

by the way, you're still pitching in for the replacement ceiling fan, right? and my stitches weren't exactly cheap, either.

Anx said:

I got the kids working. Got one stuffing envelopes.Another assembling crap for some company in Nigeria. And the little one is on the phone now "roleplaying".

You should have your money by next Tuesday as I have the lil one working over time (She just loves to talk...that lil scamp!). Er Natch that..Wednesday...Tuesday is a holiday and I promised the kids they could play with firecrackers.

a friend of mine makes the most magnificent pomegranate martinis.

Could we please make sure that they become my friend as well? Thanks!

HereToRockYourWorld said:

why yes! Yes we could.

PS - I gotta book my airfare this weekend, I think. I'll be orgnoting ya!

superspaceboy said:

okay, that was way inspired.

I just got a Starbucks crappu at lunch because I have a pomegranate fetish and must try all new products offered with this ingredient.

And really, even though it has a nice, strong taste, the drink falls apart as soon as you get it. The juice separates from the frozen part instantly and you're left drinking pomegranate juice (cut with Tazo tea) and you don't get to enjoy anything slushy or smooshy at all.

What they NEED to do is blend the pomegranate juice with orange juice and throw some yogurt in there. I include other ingredients, but I'm not going to give EVERYTHING away, now am I?

I did contribute my pomegranate smoothie recipe to a company cookbook last year and the cookbook won an award, no doubt spurred on by my entry. I am the Jeffrey Eugenides of pomegranate drinks. So don't hate.

Thank you, that is all.

Don't shortchange yourself, Anx.

You likely also are the Bob Ditka of pomengranate drinks, as well as the Daffy Duck, as well as the Garry Shandling, as well as the Sara Gilbert, as well as the Herve Villachez, as well as the Carol Burnett, as well as the Prince, as well as the Teri Copley, as well as the Ricky Schroeder, as well as the Scatsman Crothers, as well as the Elvis of pomegranate drinks.

You're quite accomplished. But, it's a wide-open category...

POMEGRANTE SMOOTHIES, by Anx

My pomegrante smoothies bring all the boys to the yard,
And they're like
It's better than yours,
Damn right it's better than yours,
I can teach you,
But I have to charge

I know you want it,
The thing that makes me,
What the guys go crazy for.
They lose their minds,
The way I wind,
I think its time

[Chorus x2]
La la-la la la,
Warm it up.
Lala-lalala,
The boys are waiting

My pomegrante smoothies bring all the boys to the yard,
And their like
It's better than yours,
Damn right it's better than yours,
I can teach you,
But I have to charge

I can see youre on it,
You want me to teach thee
Techniques that freaks these boys,
It can't be bought,
Just know, thieves get caught,
Watch if your smart,

[Chorus x2]
La la-la la la,
Warm it up,
La la-la la la,
The boys are waiting,

My pomegrante smoothies bring all the boys to the yard,
And their like
It's better than yours,
Damn right it's better than yours,
I can teach you,
But I have to charge

Oh, once you get involved,
Everyone will look this way-so,
You must maintain your charm,
Same time maintain your halo,
Just get the perfect blend,
Plus what you have within,
Then next his eyes are squint,
Then he's picked up your scent,

[Chorus x2]
Lala-lalala,
Warm it up,
Lala-lalala,
The boys are waiting,

My pomegrante smoothies bring all the boys to the yard,
And their like
It's better than yours,
Damn right it's better than yours,
I can teach you,
But I have to charge
