When good things go bad

January 2, 2014 by Lynette

My infatuation with pomegranates continues. Today I was ready to prepare another. Apparently, this is what happens when pomegranate goes “bad”. It looks like a rabbit with a serious digestive problem left gooey bunny turds inside my pomegranate.

Fortunately, I had other pomegranates – that were not rotten. I prepared those. Then I fed the leftover pomegranate… shells?… peels?… the non-edible portion down the garbage disposal. Then I decided to just put the gross rotten pomegranate down the disposal as well. I have a plastic “stuffer” made just for stuffing gross stuff into the garbage disposal. In this case, half of a rotten pomegranate is rather large – it took a bit of stuffing. My disposal sounded unhappy and water (and gross stuff) started backing up. Ewww….

Ugh – this is so gross

The disposal also projectile vomited some gross rotten pomegranate vomit – all over the counter and the floor. (I feel like that garbage disposal scene from Star Wars.)

Argh – it looks like someone vomited running to a place to vomit

I turned off the disposal to make sure something wasn’t stuck – and at this point discovered I had not only stuffed half a rotten pomegranate into the disposal, but also the rubber disposal drain cover. Oops. I pulled that out. I resumed “disposaling”… err… disposing. I turned the disposal back on. More stuff backed up. This was getting increasingly grotesque.

I want to vomit

I am cheap… I mean frugal. I don’t want to pay the plumber to come to my house and fix the situation. I’ll try some liquid clog removal stuff… well, it says “for slow drains”… this is REALLY slow, right? It will work? I gave it some time, tried again… um.. no, now it’s backing up in the other basin as well.

Eating ANYTHING, including pomegranates, is becoming increasingly unappetizing

I wasn’t ready to give up just yet. I tried a different clog removal product I had on hand. Something in powder form. I added that, and walked away hoping magic would happen. When I returned later, I did see the second basin had emptied of water. I covered the first basin with an old towel – held my breath – and turned on the disposal….. SUCCESS! It burped and gurgled and consumed all the disgusting swampy mess in the sink. I did a lot of cleaning – including some disposal cleaner product – and congratulated myself on fixing the problem myself without paying the plumber. (Good job, Lintee Bean.)
