And ...Nancy, yes, I really enjoy roasted anything! And I saw your post today about food and thought, "Yes!"<br /><br />Cookiecrumb, yes to kohlrabi - weird and, in my view, inedible. I tried the greens of bitter melon and they were, unsurprisingly, quite bitter. Ick.<br /><br />Kitt, well, perhaps that's the answer for enjoying now all those previously-hated veggies. Thanks!<br /><br />Jan, my Mom was a pretty good cook, overall, but she did have that power trip going at the dinner table, just like yours. Maybe their upbringing? In any case, it always seemed like a lose/lose proposition to me so puzzling as to why she would keep getting embroiled in them. Guess I will never know.Zoomiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16474153316588551039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5732224038883472327.post-69978532972760654842011-02-20T16:57:51.396-08:002011-02-20T16:57:51.396-08:00Still think it is the you WILL eat it of our youth...Still think it is the you WILL eat it of our youth.<br />Plus mom's cooking was not inspired.Jan Nisewanernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5732224038883472327.post-75039455801960556032011-02-20T15:32:24.043-08:002011-02-20T15:32:24.043-08:00I know "they" have done studies about ho...I know "they" have done studies about how our taste buds change as we age, so that foods that made us gag as kids actually do taste different when we're adults.

I do love the root vegetables, though.<br />Ever tried kohlrabi? It looks Martian. I haven't had that either.<br />But if you are running out of despicable vegetables to try, have a Chinese bitter melon.

So, while I haven't gone totally over to the dark side (butter, sugar, salt, yummy), I am going to include more of my adventures in cooking. Why not? It would be fun to expand my topics and see if more people come to read and comment.Nancy Ewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12116290968007398337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5732224038883472327.post-33946431683764172252011-02-20T12:57:56.914-08:002011-02-20T12:57:56.914-08:00Roasting really does do the trick, doesn't it?...Roasting really does do the trick, doesn't it? Next time - if you want - try roasting the rutabagas with sweet potatoes or yams, peppers, carrots and onions. That's one of my favorite winter/root vegetable combos and if you do it with the roast chicken, you've got one delicious dish. IMHO - as always.Nancy Ewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12116290968007398337noreply@blogger.com
