Dick's recipe for brocolli:

Burn to the groud any store carrrying brocolli
Was the mouth out with soap of anyone saying the noxious word.
Rescind all farm subsidies to brocolli growers.

He can smoke his pipe and enjoy a brocollli free world. Recipes 986286

I propose the same recipe for peas with the following modifications:

Burn to the ground any store which has ever carried peas.

Shoot before sunrise anyone who would dare to advocate the ingestion of peas.

Thanks Abe--great thread!

Back to my "do not eat list."

I finally told the nurse giving me my blood test I was going to eat salads and whatever else my body was craving.

So she said, "Just so you don't eat brussel sprouts."

"No chance," I said, "I hate brussel sprouts."

Same recipe for these little cabbage things as the broccoli and peas.

Love, Carol

Oh for the love of Pete!

Just send the broccoli, peas, and brussel sprouts to me!!!

I love all those veggies.

I will also take the carrots, green beans, bell peppers, and spinach.

If you really want to bury something in the ground and stomp on it ... do it to the OKRA!!!

Elf, I can assure you that when I dig Abe's hole in the ground there will be room for okra.

Great recipe, Don, but until I read through it all I was afraid you had become a terrorist.

Subject: Re: Recipes Sat Dec 13, 2008 5:46 pm

Don, like your recipe, but I have never had carp, much less on a plank! But I am not real fond of catfish (I know, I will catch heck for that!). I am with JoElle. I'll take the veggies. Brussel sprouts are as close to cabbage as I get, though!

Subject: Re: Recipes Sun Dec 14, 2008 9:27 am

Don't start dissing okra again. You know how I get about my okra....

I'm with JoElle. I love the vegies. Love all of them except for raw celery.

Subject: Re: Recipes Sun Dec 14, 2008 9:41 am

If you slice celery very, very thinly (wafer thin) and add to any creamed cheese or cottage cheese, it makes a delicious sandwich. Add a little grated mature cheddar (Canadian) for extra bite.

Subject: Re: Recipes Sun Dec 14, 2008 10:36 am

Shelagh,

How about a few cucumbers--sandwich is quite incomplete without cucumbers. Recipes 986286

Don,
that was great. I suppose those of us who don't like a particular green can always make up for it by putting an olive in the drink.

Thanks are we allowed to subsitute an American cucumber?

Some of this stuff is enough to gag a maggot.

Subject: Re: Recipes Sun Dec 14, 2008 11:50 am

I was wondering the same thing, Alice. Is there any difference?

And how can you expect to grow up big and strong without your veggies, Dick?

Subject: Re: Recipes Sun Dec 14, 2008 12:52 pm

Zada,

Dick is proof posiitive that peope do not need hideous green leafy or otherwise vegetables to grow to be strong and long-lived.

My dad never ate salad--he was a potato and gravy and bread type guy. He liked fig bars, danish pastries, banannas and cornflakes.

He was very strong and survived terrible car accidents and a bad woods accident.

Mom ate vegetables, made me eat vegetables and died at 74. My dad died at 82.

Which stuff are you referencing?

Shelagh's food is very well presented--beautiful in my opinion.

Subject: Re: Recipes Sun Dec 14, 2008 1:02 pm

My dad was a steak and potato man. He would pick at a salad but really didn't enjoy it. He was allergic to tomatoes.

He died of colon cancer at the age of 52.

Last night I listened to Dr. Dean Adell on the radio. A caller asked
him about vitamin supplements. He said that they are completely
worthless, and we should get all the vitamins we need from our food.
Not sure if I agree with that or not.

Subject: Re: Recipes Sun Dec 14, 2008 1:17 pm

Brew,

He is qute knowledgable, but I am with you on this one.
I much prefer an all purpose vitamin to worrying and fighting with kids over food choices.

Our daughter is 37 and has yet to have a cavity. I allowed the kids to eat candy, and chew gum, so it had to be the vitamin that made the difference

Okay. I'll meet you half way. I don't like okra. But my mom loves the stuff. Close enough? Very Happy

You don't like raw celery???

Do you not know that a celery stick and peanut butter makes for a yummy snack???

Subject: Re: Recipes Sun Dec 14, 2008 2:00 pm

JoElle! Another new photo! I like the attire.

Subject: Re: Recipes Sun Dec 14, 2008 2:31 pm

I like it too!

Subject: Re: Recipes Sun Dec 14, 2008 5:37 pm

Great thread Abe -- the best ones are the ones that stimulate all kind of emotions and you've certainly got the gamut running here!!

Subject: Re: Recipes Mon Dec 15, 2008 7:27 am

I must confess. I do like greens. I could eat an entire meal of salad. Years ago I went to a restuarant in Memphis called the "House of Salad." Every imaginable combination served in a wooden trough - like a pigs trough. It was great! I wondered when it would catch on. Sometime later "Salad Bars" began to appear in restuarants with the option to just have the salad bar.

Salad and other vegetables are healthy provided they are not contaminated by insecticides. I prefer home-grown greens that I know are free of contaminates.

Yes I eat broccoli. Now I'm on Dick's short list.
