Produce Miracle!

Today after wogging (walk/jogging) at the track in Tafuna with Taylor, Scott and Thanh we stopped at KS mart to pick up a few things. As you may recall from earlier posts and my ever increasing signs of scurvy, American Samoa does not have many fruits or vegetables readily available unless it can grow here (breadfruit, bananas, Asian eggplant for some reason...). But today, lo and behold what do we find at KS? POMEGRANATES!

I love them, I really do - ever since my presentation on Persephone (Wikipedia it) in Junior/Senior Humanities. Taylor and I were pretty pumped, but due to an annoying habit of this island, the price was not posted anywhere and we wanted to know that it wasn't going to cost a millions dollars. When we asked about the price we discovered that the staff didn't even know what a pomegranate was because they have never seen them on island before. First pomegranates in AmSam in known history! (At least according to KS Mart staff)

My lucky day!

(Note: I am eating my pomegranate right now. Score!)
