Brammers is overtired and overstimulated ...

[blamebrampton]

I spoke with a dear friend earlier tonight. I confessed that I was run off my feet today and quite deranged after the weekend of boiling, though ticking off my to-do list with reasonable satisfaction in preparation for the last mag issues of the year and my imminent scarpering to Blessed Winter.

She advised me to take a cool drink of something refreshing. I had just the thing: pomegranate juice in the fridge after my weekend raid of the health food shop.

I poured a glass, drank it, and fell back nearly 35 years into hot desert cities with morning calls to prayer and mustachioed men handing sticky glasses slick with frost against the heat of the day and brimming with tart sweet pink amber juice to small children and admonishing all of us to respect our parents and play somewhere else.

I am now not entirely certain that I am taking the right trip ...

This reads like a real memory. Yours? Where did you live then? For how long?

Next year. I could be convinced to save for Morocco. Just saying.

Kakade(sp?) in Egypt? Egypt has some of the best juices. One of the few things that was good about staying in Cairo was a juice bar we found. Coconut milkshakes, mmmmmmmm.

But bottled pomegranate juice is not even close in taste to fresh juice...
If you do take a trip to the area, come visit Israel. We have fresh pomegranate juice and (in most places) no morning calls to prayer. :)

Brammers, when I read the title of this post my mind immediately went to the gutter and I couldn't stop laughing!

oh dear... what would we do without our Brammers?

What exactly was in that juice?

And, omg, now I want pomegranate juice so badly.

I wish I could send you some rain (and some flood problems XD)! It's been pouring here every day for the past week. Weather can be really unpredictable at times. *snuggles you tight and sends you some cooling air*

oh pomegranate juice, i miss you so. i used to snack on the lushest pomegranates during my childhood in kuwait. i dunno if it's nostalgia that makes me think the quality of the fruit was better in that region..or b/c it's actually true..

This inspired me to have some POM with my lunch today. However, the lovely visual was not included, and I would like my money back because the most powerful sensory experience of my lunch hour was our compensation consultant mangling songs from HMS Pinafore across the table.
