I hate broccoli. It just tastes like bitter. Cauliflower is OK, and brussels sprouts are great when they're roasted, but I don't like them steamed or boiled.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

I love broccoli, but I hate how it makes the kitchen smell like farts after it's cooked. It doesn't smell like that cooking, but as soon as it starts to get stale...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Broccoli was one of the foods that I had a mild reaction to back when I did my food allergy testing, so I mostly stopped eating it, and it turns out once you stop eating it, you kind of lose the ability to digest it well.

Wouldn't it work out better to roast vegetables that actually have flavor before they're roasted?

I am all out of cruciforms. But I made chopped liver in the crock pot today and I'm very pleased with how it came out. Which is good, because even though it doesn't look like very much, the amount I had for dinner barely made a dent so I guess I will be eating it for a while.

It's one of the few vegetables that's actually palatable.
That's just crazy talk. I'll take all your vegetables, and your tomatoes, too.
Oh, my god, I'm tired. I was already exhausted, but then I decided to take the stairs down 10 flights because I haven't been to the gym all week due to snowmageddon. Then I went to the grocery, and while I was carrying heavy shopping, I couldn't sit down on the L because it was too crowded, and had to hike over huge piles of snow because plenty of sidewalk hadn't been shoveled.
Not exactly up hill both ways in the snow, but definitely up snow hills both ways in the cold.

I think you get to use the uphill both ways in the snow argument, shrift.

I've not run into the problem of bad smells from cooked broccoli. Well, not in the first few hours after eating it, anyway...

Roasting caramelizes the sugars and brings out a lot more flavor.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I *just* remembered they haven't refilled the prescription I called in on Monday.
I went to CVS today to pick up a migraine med refill that *should* have been called in on Monday. I came without it, because (1) doctor's office didn't call it in, and (2) the drug -- and its generic -- is not made anymore. FML.
(It's an old drug -- Midrin -- because I'm trying to avoid triptans for as long as possible, since one of the potential side effects can be heart stuff, and I just worry that I have a greater than average chance of heart problems, so I don't want to up the chances if I don't have to. So for now, they're switching me to another old drug, Fioricet.)
But DAMN. Why they gotta stop manufacturing a drug???
