Fuck You Broccoli
When I was a child, I hated all cooked vegetables, and a good number of raw ones. But the only recourse I had was to not eat them, and try to finagle my way into somehow getting dessert without eating them. But now that I'm older, it's personal. I still hate them. And I'm going ad hominem on all their asses.

I laughed. I am a board-certified vegetable-lover and I will cut you over artichokes and I still thought this was hilarious. Well done.

I really want to give you a hug. And some colcannon.

One of the perks of being 90 my grandmother said was not having to eat broccoli to be polite. I salute you!

Cabbage: Looks like lettuce, tastes like ass.

But, but, asparagus is so good! And spinach, I love spinach!

I love veggies. But I love this even more.

And I do judge vegetables by the color of their skin. Does that make me a bad person?

OK... It's been about a month and change. Still any good? Anything I should be doing differently? thanks!

I just saw this thanks to the podcast. Love love love! Although I do have to disagree with you re: carrot cake. NOM NOM NOM!
