Oh, hey--usability gurus--what am I missing? When I have typed in a user ID and clicked on "forget password" why do 90% of you take me to a screen and ask me to type in my user ID again?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I have NO idea how to prepare and cook vegetables. Aside from dump it in a pot and boil it until it's dead, which was my grandmother's/mother's technique and that's probably why I hate them. Instructions usually start with "cut the vegetable" as if that's not problematic.
Another easy method that works for tons of veggies is: Cut them up into more or less bite-sized pieces. Spread them out on a tray, drizzle with olive oil (enough to coat them lightly), sprinkle with salt & pepper, and whatever other herbs you want. Roast in the oven (350 or 375 ought to do it) until they look nice and brown and done. (If you take them out and they are not done, put them back in.) Nom.
Simple, easy, and delicious.

Happy Birthday, Plei!
(Is it a matter of concern that Google told me that it was your birthday. . . they are our unseen overlords, aren't they?)

Man, I spent an hour and a half with a vendor yesterday using their tool to "build" an "app", and now I'm testing it on mobile and the results are, in order of mobile browsers tried (FF, Dolphin, Opera), crash browser, freeze before completely loaded, certificate error with no options available.
Bravo, guys! How can I possibly recommend your tool even slightly?

Plei,
many happy birthdays!
Zenkitty re: vegetables.
The barefoot contessa has a fantastic recipe for roasted broccoli that I have used and adapted. I think she also roasts potatoes and winter veggies this way as well. They taste delicious and hold their flavor more than boiling.

Happy Birthday Plei!

Because books.
My favorite is asparagus and mushrooms roasted in a little olive oil, garlic, and sea salt. Deb Grabien made them during the SF2F, and I loved it.
One of my favorite new vegetable recipes is baked zucchini fries. It's a little bit of prep, and a lot of panko, but they're delicious.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Any time I have a veg I'm not sure about, I roast it with EVOO and salt. Works every time.*
Oh man, I had the best CSA salad this week. Roast beets, fresh peas and butter lettuce, tossed with a dill vinaigrette and some gorgonzola crumbles. SO FUCKING GOOD.
*Ok that's probably not true. Leafy greens don't roast all that well. Those you should grill.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I was really sad when I roasted brussels sprouts and they turned out bitter anyway. I've HAD really good roasted brussels sprouts, so I have no idea why mine turned out bitter. I'm wary of trying again, though.
