Hello, Margaret,

Thanks for the information. I can't understand why my email address
would be rejected, unless my server has to have its cache cleaned out.

Speaking of pomegranates, we are awash in them. Juiced a bunch the other
day and got a quart of juice for fesenjan and marinades, just after
having obtained 6 quarts of passion fruit juice from our fallen fruit.

One lovely way I just discovered to use pomegranates is in stuffing: to
the basic Mrs. Cubbison's recipe, instead of using celery, I threw in a
good handful of pomegranate and another of walnuts. Boy, was that every
delicious!

For you veggie fans out there, I just purchased, from Jessica's Biscuit,
online, a really gorgeous cookbook full of wonderful recipes, many of
which utilize, you guessed it, pomegranates. It was published by a well
know Persian cookery expert, Najimeh Batmanglij, from Washington D.C.
It's entitled Silk Road Cooking: A Vegetarian Journey. What a great
addition to my collection of ME goodies. She took 25 years to put this
book together, traveling all the way from eastern China, over Central
Asia, Northern India, Persia, through  the Middle East to Genoa. The
photos are stunning, and the recipes fabulous.

Ms. Batmanglij, originally from Iran, teaches a course in silk road
cooking in Washington, D.C.
