How do you eat this?

While we were in Australia, David saw a fresh Pomegranate and wanted to try one - as he had read of the great health benefits of them. Well we bought one, and then I read online how to prepare it - however it was messy (read stained fingers) and the end result was very bitter. So David thought that he would go back to juice - however they all have too much sugar in them, so he passed. Then today while I was in Costco replenishing the larder I saw this
and so I bought them and you know what, the seeds are pretty nice - in fact we had them, instead of cranberries to go with our belated Christmas dinner. And someone at Costco had done all the hard work.
Driving around today was a bit of a challenge - we had to return our rental car and getting out of the street was the hardest part of all, as a plogh had come through yesterday and scooped a whole lot of snow onto the side of the main road and as only a couple of people live on our road, there was not much of a path out. However we made it and all the rest of the roads were fine, as the traffic had made them clear. It then gently rained all day, melting a lot more of the snow - and with temperatures in the 40's predicted for the next week, all the snow should soon be gone.
