I love veggies, in their raw form. Carrots, salad, green peppers, snow peas are my favorite, cucumbers, spinach, any variety of lettuce, celery. I love raw veggies.
Raw Veggies. I love Raw Veggies. I can not abide cooked veggies, or so I thought. Just one more little surprise waiting in the wings for me with this new lifestyle!
Tonight's dinner seemed like a rather odd concoction. It had tofu, tomatoes, spinach, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese. I know, bizarre, right? We thought so too. But the rules are the rules; and in this case, the rule is - shut up and try it. So I did.
Know what? I LIKE COOKED SPINACH!!! Don't tell my mother, she may hold it over my head forever. Oh wait, she was at dinner. I wondered why she was looking at me weirdly across the table.
So, I ate cooked green stuff and contrary to what I have always proclaimed, I did not die from it! Amazing!
I wonder what other foods that I thought I would hate that I really like and just don't know it?
Hi Puppie! Have you ever heard of an Indonesian dish called "Gado Gado"? Its in interesting combination of fresh and cooked veggies that is the prettiest dish in the world. I am going to Google it to see what it looks like from other sources, not just my cookbook. ~a
ReplyDeleteperhaps I will have to stop calling this dish 'Gado Gado' even though that is what it is called in The Moosewood Cookbook. When I Googled, not ONE of the images looked at all like her beautiful version.
