Life is good… The ol’ scale indicated 197.9 this\u00a0 morning.\u00a0 Paul can see 190 in the headlights!\u00a0 Haven’t been this low in weight in 40 years!\u00a0 Feels pretty derned good!<\/p>\n

Paul got up extra early while Sue was still asleep and did a Ralph’s Market run getting a dozen eggs, several new veggie dishes, and other necessities including more drinks for Sue.\u00a0 He then popped over to BB&B and got some pillow cases and pillows plus an electric blanked that may be better for Sue while she watches TV.<\/p>\n

Paul fixed scrambled eggs with fresh veggies\u00a0 in them… Sue actually thought it was good!\u00a0 Win one for the Gipper!\u00a0 After lunch, Sue crashed again and slept until 6:00 PM when Paul got her up and readies for dinner!<\/p>\n

While Sue was zonked, Paul trimmed the Pomegranate tree which was a nigger job than anticipated!\u00a0 Those trees have big thorns on them and Paul found each and every one!<\/p>\n

Wonderful fruit and nice looking tree<\/p><\/div>\n

The name pomegranate derives from medieval Latin p?mum “apple” and gr?n?tum “seeded”. The number of seeds in a pomegranate can vary from 200 to about 1400.<\/p>\n

Wanna know a secret?\u00a0 After the pomegranate is opened by scoring it with a knife and breaking it open, the seeds are separated from the peel and internal white pulp membranes. Separating the seeds is easier in a bowl of water because the seeds sink and the inedible pulp floats. Freezing the entire fruit also makes it easier to separate. … No fuss… No muss!<\/p>\n

He was tired and hungry so he sneaked out to Subway and had a small veggie sandwich!\u00a0 The standard 6 inch Veggie Delight sub weighs 162g and has 230 calories with 2.5g of fat. The sub also has .5g saturated fat, no trans fat or cholesterol, and 410mg of sodium. There are 45g of carbohydrates, five of which are dietary fiber and five of which are sugar, and 9g of protein. The sub provides 8 percent of the daily value of vitamin A and 20 percent vitamin C as well as 4 percent calcium and 15 percent iron.<\/p>\n

For dinner? Only Paul knows. While we want to go to Garden Grove Elks, we stayed home and stayed away from possible sources of the flu.\u00a0 We watched some TV and then crashed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
