pomegranate = nectar of the gods
I would just like to point out that it is actually the food of the dead... Ambrosia is the food of the gods (a type of grape? I'm not sure).
Nectar is the drink of the gods, ambrosia is the food of the gods. Ambrosia is probably honey although no one's really sure. Anyway, to answer the post two up from this, I will preface my answer by saying I never have chinese leftovers in my house. Ever. Ok, this is 100% true: One night I came home late. I was hungry so I rooted through the fridge. There were some random brown paper bags which I didn't bother looking in, cheese, chocolate, deli meat, peanut butter ect.
I settled on some chocolate and then went down to my computer. I logged onto my facebook account and went to update my status. I typed, "I am hungry and therefore I am eating chocolate." Somehow this seemed incomplete so I decided to add something. I don't know why but for some strange reason the words "cold dumplings" popped into my head. I hadn't eaten, seen, or even thought about dumplings in several weeks at least. But that's what came to me. So I added it to my status so it read, "I am hungry and therefore I am eating chocolate and cold dumplings."
A bit later I went to bed. I woke up the next morning, did some work, bummed around on the computer ect. Around lunch time, hungry again, I went upstairs. I opened my fridge and was greeted by the same site as the night before. I looked around and saw nothing appealing. In my frustration, I randomly grabbed one of the brown paper bags and opened it. Inside was a white Styrofoam container. I set it down on the counter top, opened it up, and froze. Inside, in a large pile, were several cold dumplings.
That's my story. It's the most unbelievable thing that's happened to me and no one I tell it to believes me but I swear it's true.
Anyways: What is one intensely embarrassing moment from your childhood that will likely stay with you for life?
