BTW, can I count rhubarb as a fruit?
Wikipedia currently says yes:
Rhubarb is usually considered a vegetable. In the United States, however, a New York court decided in 1947 that since it was used in the United States as a fruit, it counted as a fruit for the purposes of regulations and duties. A side effect was a reduction on imported rhubarb tariffs, as tariffs were higher for vegetables than fruits.
Rhubarb is totally a fruit.
My reaction? "There's a 3-dollar coin?"
It's queer, don'tcha know? ;)
I went to a Cuban restaurant and was v disappointed. The tostones were good but they served only white rice--no beans! I feel veggies are missing from my diet today, but the salad was $11! Ridiculous.
I made it home!
Also, when I was a kid, the tooth fairy brought me a quarter, but my best friend a dollar.
When one of my last teeth fell out, when I was about 10 or so, my mom told me to put it under my pillow for the tooth fairy, and I rolled my eyes and said something like, "You mean, so you can give me a dollar? I'm too old for the tooth fairy." My mom said that the tooth fairy doesn't bring anything to kids who say they don't believe in her. I said fine, and I wrote a note to the tooth fairy, saying that there was a recession going on, and money isn't worth what it used to be worth, and I really should get more that a dollar for a tooth, since a dollar was what I had gotten when I first started losing my teeth four or five years earlier. I got a twenty.
Well, if it's good enough to reduce import tariffs, it's good enough for me! "Eat fruit " officially checked off of To Do list.

This is a world in which tomatoes count as vegetables, because that's who they hang out with. Rhubarb hangs out with strawberries, so I say it's a fruit.
Relatedly: is edamame a vegetable? Like lima beans? Or is it more of a protein-y "pulse" thing? (I can't quite remember what "pulses" are, only that they are a food category.)
Still relatedly because, food: HOLY SHIT, roasted broccoli is SO GOOD. I want to roast ALL THE THINGS.

Edamame is soy beans. I think "pulses" is British for "legumes"? (At least, that's mostly how I've seen it used.)
Edamame is soy beans.
I knew edamame is soy beans, but I'm still fuzzy on the category. Protein, not vegetable?
I gave the boys a dollar coin for each of theirs. It seems like I remember getting a quarter, but it has been a long while. I lost my last one at 59 and didn't get a thing but a big dentist bill. It didn't have an adult tooth under it so it never came out naturally.
Protein and vegetable aren't mutually exclusive categories.
