I tried some pureed cauliflower soup that was intensely yummy. Perhaps a small attempt at roasting these things. Unfortunately, the stronger color veggies have the most nutrition, and they're the ones that taste the most bitter to me.

Roasting really helps with that. It makes them sweeter, I assume because they caramelize somewhat. Even Brussels sprouts are good when roasted (better still -- roasted and then topped with bacon crumbles!).
But yeah, I avoid bitter foods like the plague, which is why I tinker with roasting and/or covering them in cheese.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
we tried roasting brussel sprouts last Christmas. We did not find them to be really any better I'm afraid.

My mom has a recipe for roasted Brussels sprouts that involves fig jam, for real. It's not bad, but I'm not a huge fan of mixing savory and sweet. Everyone at Thanksgiving loved it, though.

Slice in half. Cook them in a pan with a bit of butter and/or olive oil + salt. Toss while cooking, stop when they are just cooked and the bottoms are lightly browned. Do not cook until squishy.
Only way to go.

So, Tep: my 71 tabs are a lot of Cap fic I intend to read, a buttload of fail-fandomanon threads, historic research info re: houses my husband's grandmother lived in as a kid, expat threads on Macau for fic research purposes, Facebook, here, and right now, that's about it.
I only let mobile routinely add up like this. It has been months since I had fewer than 60 tabs on there.
