Leap, Jesse, leap!
Ignore the fact that I am in my bathrobe on my couch.
not jealous of ita, for the record.
All vegetables are bitter to me, except the starchy ones that are little better than fancy potatoes. And, yes, I've had the 'Oh, you haven't had the good ones!' lecture, esp. re: corn and tomatoes. Some Roma tomatoes are pretty good, but still so acidic they burn my mouth. And I have had sweet corn that spent a whole five minutes going from stalk to boiling water, and it was still bitter and acidic. I've come to peace with the fact that the universe is conspiring against me re: vegetables tasting like something you want to eat rather than something you have to force yourself to eat.
on the diet front, I wanted to say that all you pasta avoiders might try spaghetti squash as a replacer. It is a little weird at first to some, but I almost never eat pasta now and just eat that with whatever sauce I want.

Now I want clementines. But that would involve ... driving to the grocery store.
The town Christmas parade has a staging area in front of our house. Including klieg lights, one of the marching bands, and a classic car club, with a red '64 convertible Impala. We're searching out hats and mittens because it's COLD out there tonight.
Well, I'm getting my veggies today. In the oven is a lasagne with mushrooms, artichoke hearts and spinach. Of course, the nice veggies are covered with bechamel and a carpet of cheese, but I'm choosing the look at that as getting my calcium as well.
The CSA order I picked up on Wednesday had satsumas in it. Now I want to go home and eat them all.
Okay, so mostly I just want to go home, but once I do, there will be satsuma eating.
Oddly, I just got home and opened an Amazon box. My mother sent me diet books. This is after she spent most of Thanksgiving telling me that I looked so good and had lost so much weight. She'd asked me what diet I was using, because she's trying to lose weight too. She looked it up, and noticed that there were a few books, and she asked me which ones I had, and I said that I just had the first one, and that was enough for learning how the diet worked and what to eat. My point was, "If you want to follow this, you just need to buy the first book," but she decided to buy me all the other books, I guess.
