muninnhuginn | You Don't Scare Us with Pomegranate and Rosemary! the Ravens Joke

One of the joys of the organic box scheme to which we belong is, since we're too lazy to actively tailor what we receive on a weekly basis. So we gets what we're given. Seems, over the four years we've been doing this, to mean a lot of kiwi fruit. (Reminder to ravens, make kiwi daiquiri jam, again, next week.) Also a lot of squashes/pumpkins/marrows. (Reminder to ravens: make marrow and ginger jam, again, next week. Query: add ginger wine? [Any recipe works better with added alcohol.]) Also many Winter greens, which go into variants on cream of spinach soup. Sometimes, it's quite a challenge.

This week we got (there are regular special treats along with the guaranteed potatoes, carrots, onions) a pomegranate and some sprigs of fresh rosemary. Go to the world's biggest recipe book and google "pomegranates" (after we'd remembered how to spell that) and "recipes". Rapidly narrow this with the addition of "lamb". Came up with Middle Eastern Pomegranate-Walnut Sauce for Lamb. Made half quantities (that was how many walnuts we had left). Very nice. Rather like a darker herbier version of satay sauce.

We think that challenge has successfully been met. (Shame about the kiwi and squash glut.)

Well, we must be German. All the example jokes in the Humour round the globe made us laugh. Where were all the obscene jokes? Surely smut must be a fairly standard element?
