Vegetables

[Mags 112]

Neil tried okra and said it tastes like alien pen*s

I don't even want to know how he knows what an alien's ####### tastes like.

I can't really think of a veggie that I won't eat. String beans are probably my least fave. Asparagus is my fave.

[~krakatoa~ 27]

I eat 'em all!

Neil has corrected me he said it looks like alien ####### not tastes like it. The texture and taste are too weird to describe.

Neil's favs:

carrots

potato in all forms

onions

peas

baked beans

green beans

cabbage especially kale and spring cabbage

butter beans

corn

bean shoots

water chesnuts

bamboo shoots

beet root

raw turnip

broccoli

cauliflower (not boiled)

hates:

cooked turnip

brussel sprouts

okra (alien #######)

asparagus

tomato

cucumber

squash

zucchini

eggplant

mushrooms

he says he's sure there's lots more since he is super picky

[Jenn! 918]

Hmmm, I've never tried raw turnip. It doesn't sound too good!

Phew, what a relief!

I never liked cooked turnip but turnip was a staple at Thanksgiving and Christmas, so Mom always gave me mine raw. I Love raw turnip! It is nice and sweet without that bitterness that comes after cooking.

Other than cooked turnip, I virtually like and eat all vegetables. Joe, being from the South, is really big on all sorts of beans so I have learned many new ways to cook beans that I never knew existed. My favourite vegetables are asparagus, spinach and red peppers.

We grow asparagus, spinach, red and green sweet peppers, hot peppers (several varieties but lots of jalopenos), okra, tomatoes, zucchini, cucumber, yellow squash, eggplant, broccoli, brussel sprouts and a good variety of herbs every year. We freeze and preserve what we don't immediately eat so we have garden vegetables available year 'round.

Steven I own my own bakery/cafe now. I went to school in Pasadena though and worked in LA for awhile before I moved to London for a job.

:o :o I think Neil might have been abducted by aliens...how else could he know this???

Your own Bakery/cafe - that's AWESOME! May I ask where? Are you familiar with Art Center College in Pasadena?

That sounds like a dream to have, Kathryn! My father had a huge vegetable garden when I was growing up and I regret at the time, not fully appreciating it. I'd curse at the squash for it's prickly hairs while harvesting them, but I did love to eat the crookneck squash and zuchini probably the best. I hope when we have a house of our own, I can plant a small vegetable garden.
