Peeling the stems makes all the difference. I like them.
I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Ew. Broccoli with cheese! Lightly steamed, please, and *plain*, suits me just fine.
I love cheese, don't get me wrong - yes, LactoseIntolerantBoy love fondue. Just...not on BROCCOLI.
Y'all are CRAZY.

That is on fact true. Carotinoids (the good stuff in broccoli and carrots and tomatoes etc) are fat-soluble, not water-soluble. So if you don't eat them with a bit of fat (olive oil is best) you don't get the good stuff.
Signed, knows this stuff and lives on doughnuts anyway

One of the NC grocery chains makes a yummy sort of slaw out of broccoli stems. I ate it without knowing what it was and thought it was just really green cole slaw. I guess they're related veggies.

Yeah, you can get brocco-slaw or whatever they call it in the produce aisle in most grocery stores. (Not mixed with the goop, just the sliced up stems and cabbage and stuff.)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I think it makes way better cole slaw.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
being naked in portland is hunky dory as long as there is no intent to sexually provoke anyone (or something like that, i forget the language.) Basically, the whackjob who goes around jerking off in playgrounds can be arrested and charged with indecent exposure, but the folks just walking around, minding their own business, sans clothing are totally within the law here. I'm still amused by the time one of the local nudists (aka "naked jen") was called in by construction workers for being distracting. I *heart* this city. Not the weather right now, but it's nice to know that if i just couldn't bear putting on clothing tomorrow morning, i could walk to my car in the buff as long as i put on some apparel before actually walking into the (work) building. (And yes, i totally considered that this morning.)

Don't like raw broccoli. Raw cauliflower yum. I'll take my broccoli cooked.

I like my broccoli mostly floret, steamed, and tossed into a curry. Raw broccoli is bitter and icky. Steamed, super yummy. Sometimes just with a little olive oil and lemon juice. Mmmmmmm.

Gah. Consider me distracted. Umm, but not in a complainy way.
