I've had the BtVS theme song as my ring tone forever. (And of course, I have 100% no shame about this, whatsoever.) Today--as on too too many other days of late--I have a mild migraine (if mild is ever a suitable adjective to describe migraines) and so, am in deep need of comfort and courage. So I decide to put on one of my Buffy DVDs (on v. low

Those pies sound delicious. :D I eat plenty of pomegranates when they're in season, but I've never cooked with them.

And a big yes to Boreanaz. There's pretty boys, and then *hot* men, hee. He definitely turned into the later, and that's where my preferences lie. ;D

I had never cooked with pomegranates either, but it worked v. well! I used the seeds and I also made caramel-y pomegranate molasses stuff for the filling by boiling down pomegranate juice with lemon and brown sugar. And today I put them in muffins and those were lovely too.

Ok I thought it sounded good just by the name, but now that you've given me details I'm actually drooling. *g* And muffins! I've wondered how the seeds would work in them! And now that you've tested it, I think I need to follow suit. :D

The seeds do stay kind of crunchy in the muffins, so you know. I like it though. I made my muffins with a bit of vanilla and ginger for flavoring. And I am realizing now that I probably should have written up THAT recipe instead of the pie one (see: my journal). I hope you don't feel pressured to make that crazy pie!

I would not turn down your muffin recipe at some point. ;D I have a good recipe for cranberry that I was thinking might translate. And yeah, I was wondering about the texture, but since they're crunchy if I eat them raw, it doesn't really matter if they're crunchy in muffins too, heh.

Well, I adapted this recipe. I used spelt flour so I adjusted the flour the and milk proportions, but the main other things I changed were: a) added some vanilla extract, b) I only had half enough candied ginger so I subbed a little ground ginger, c) put in at least twice as many pomegranate seeds, next time might do even more.
