Not much happened around the Sommerer’s today. We made our weekly pilgrimage to Wal-Mart after church, discovering on the way that I left my purse under the pew. (Thank you, Beth, for rescuing it.) We bought our normal stuff, but this time – a pomegranate, which is really hard to spell.
We’ve eaten these before, but have ruined our clothes with all the squirting. I was going to try the “cut it in half and whack it with a spoon” method, but then I found an interesting method on the internet. You cut off the top skin like a jack-o-lantern, then cut where you see the five membranes. (I just guessed where they were, that’s why I have six.) Then you peel it open – that was cool! I ended up whacking the seeds out anyway, but this was much less messy than before.
Lloyd spent the ENTIRE DAY sitting in front of the computer writing a program that does something with the ‘Laurenburg’ thing. I believe you’ll see it to the right, and it would be nice if you looked at it and oohed and ahhed. Thanks. Also, tell him that he needs to exercise a little to keep his blood from pooling in his butt and feet.
Seven hours in this position. Seven hours. (so far.)
