I'd have killed for some Broccoli ( or Haggled for some if they grew it ) <br />I saved up & went to Cairo after the farm & saw the biggest sun I've seen in my life... then got ill from eating beans ( should have had broccoli ) and had to live on black tea for days til I could eat again. ( was oh so slim though ! )<br />I like my veg quite hard ( yes needs carving )I knew a cook on a boat once who had guests complaining about the al dente Broccoli - so she said she'd boil it to a pulp for them ...and she did.<br /><br />Hope you get a lovely birthday cake for being a good girl and eating your greens !BadPennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09889591351222591488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74882821337502001.post-16842642108067476612012-04-25T14:00:43.521-07:002012-04-25T14:00:43.521-07:00Power to home grown veg!
