LOVING POMEGRANATES

So much to love about pomegranates --

Fun to open up (and easy too).

You can eat the seeds,

float them in champagne,

or add them to salads.

They get their vibrant red from polyphenols.

Sky high in antioxidants, 

helping remove "free radicals,"

protecting cells from damage and 

reducing inflammation.

Rich in Vitamin C, so much more

than pasteurized juices.

Cancer preventative, 

Alzheimer's disease protection,

aids digestion,

arthritis relief, 

memory improver,

sports performance enhancer.

Oh yeah

and absolutely delicious.

LEMON MERINGUE PIE

Lewis Cafe, St. Clair, Missouri.

Fresh baked daily, from scratch.

Worth the drive.

(So much for my New Year's diet plan.)

IGLOOS DOWNTOWN

What a great idea.

Free ice skating rink

in the heart of downtown.

With see-thru igloos

to keep you warm and dry.

Great view.  Great idea.

PERFECT DAY

TO SKATE

Steinberg Rink in Forest Park

and Keiner Plaza downtown St. Louis.

Perfect sunny day to try out the ice skates.

Happy first day of 2020.

TWELVE GRAPES 

FOR THE NEW YEAR

There's a popular tradition and

superstition of eating 12 grapes

at midnight of the New Year,

one for each strike of the clock.

Rare is the Spaniard who will risk

poisoning their fate for the coming year

by missing one grape at midnight.

Good luck.

And Happy New Year.
