Pomeranian? No, Pomegranate!

Today's dental appointment wasn't much fun, but it could have been a lot worse. I really didn't feel anything when the dentist was drilling (I still hate the sound though), but then when the technician was poking around on the pitiful little nub left over before the temporary crown went on I felt a little twinge in one particular area. The anticipation that that little dull pain could pain could lead to something worse was probably the worst part, though. The dentist said that the decay on that tooth went all the way to the nerve and he had to patch over it. I really hope it doesn't abscess, leading to a root canal, which could be a possibility. I've had enough dental trauma for one year thank you very much. They gave me a prescription for some Vicodin, but I haven't filled it. My tooth doesn't hurt too much, and being drugged into oblivion doesn't sound all that appealing to me right now.


On another note, I bought a pomegranate at the store last weekend. I can't remember the last time I had one. I've been avoiding them due to their high price, but when I saw them on sale I decided to splurge. I may have to splurge again, I really love those seeds. They're great as a snack by themselves, and they are a nice salad topping. They're kind of like eating sunflower seeds that have a little juice package wrapped around them. Yum!

Who would've thought that something that looks so much like a crime scene could be so good?

I just love the way the juice is splattered here.

I've also been diggin' on these grape tomatoes. I love them as a snack and they're great on salads too. Plus they have cartoon characters on the label.
