My Very Special POM Party

So now I can share with you what has been keeping me busy for the past few weeks! I had the great privilege of being selected by POM pomegranates to host a pomegranate party. This was another great opportunity that FoodBuzz has provided me. And since my family ADORES pomegranates, cooking with you was a no-brainer! Boy, were they bursting with joy when the two giant boxes filled with over 40 pomegranates arrived! Finding friends to test out our recipes is easy to find! My friends are always more than willing to offer their taste buds to try out my concoctions. In the past, most of our big dinner parties were typically for family, not friends. Hubby and I already figured that the Iranian family already adored pomegranates, so why not introduce this wonderful fruit & recipes to our friends? And since we couldn't cut the list down, our final party attendees included 9 wonderful families. That equals to 19 adults and 21 kids. Sure, I could have made it an adult-only party, but I really wanted to include the kids and to show everyone that kids would love pomegranates and foods including pomegranates. Yes, I made all of that and all from scratch! My hubby was gracious enough to seed over 40 pomegranates for me in the past few weeks. We even raided my sister-in-laws pomegranate tree to use even more pomegranates! Needless to say, Hubs is now an expert at opening and seeding a pomegranate. Check out these step-by-step photos showing you the best way to open a pomegranate , as well as this video we shot at our POM party. When guests entered our house, I had set up the recipe cards and pamphlets sent to me by POM, as well as a few pictures showing them a sample of the recipes we were going to eat that evening. For the kids, we had a game where they had to guess how many seeds were in a POM pomegranate . We put the seeds from one lovely POM pomegranate in a jar for them to see. Even the adults got into the fun and entered their guess. My oldest son, the Professor, was in charge of this game and he made sure everyone who wanted to play, had a guess. Scroll down to see if YOU guessed right! Usually when I throw a dinner party, I make sure the house is clean and presentable (ha! ha!) and I concentrate on the cooking. But, because POM wanted me to incorporate pomegranates in the decor, I spent more time on decorating my house than I usually do. And my good friend, Lois, was totally ready to help me.
