BBBB Bashing thru the snow...

I don't think that I've ever had it.
I tried dandelion greens from the garden once, but they were really bitter. Then again, they had also bloomed by that point, and I've heard that that makes them taste more bitter.

You have to pick them when the leaves are young and tender. The right dressing also helps.

I should probably also clarify often the discount produce is already like half rotted when she gets it or close so it goes bad pretty quickly. Not like it’s in there for months or whatever but even if we did cook it, it wouldn’t help because she will literally buy like 10 peppers at a time or 3 big bundles of asparagus or whatever. Like just inordinate amounts of it at once so that there is no possible way we could use it all. They often come in packs of like 2 or 3 peppers so she’ll buy like 5 packs

Hm... lots of peppers and onions?
That'll get your insides moving.

I would never base any of my decisions on your tastes. Anyone that thinks arugula tastes good has taste problems.

Touché

Thankfully we don’t have any right now but we just recently like a few weeks ago had to throw away a ton of the stuff cause she bought like legit a million tomatoes and peppers and stuff and then just left them on the counter forever and in the bags!?

Ehh, not gonna mother my mother. If she wants to keep doing it then

She’s actually been better lately and she doesn’t really normally do the shopping much anyway. It’s just when she goes into a store or whatever she tends to grab some every time

I think that I have a tendency to mother everybody. I'm the resident broody, despite the fact that I don't have any ankle-biters to look after or give birth to (yet).

Over cooked asparagus is disgusting.

You’re finding more and more ways to find asparagus less than heavenly.

So far, can’t over cook it. Don’t freeze it, don’t can it.

Do... cut fresh from garden.


I have never had it fresh from garden. Maybe I’m doing something wrong.

Then try to go shopping with her -- ask her if she knows what she's going to do with it, and if she doesn't know, then try not to let her buy it. Say that it will just go bad and be a waste.


Not here, either. We keep an array of spices and seasonings in a drawer by the stove, and keep backups their own little box in the pantry. Pretty hard to lose things when they're contained.
Well... sometimes.

Oh and it’s very easy to lose stuff in boxes we have a HUGE basket in the cabinet for the tea and I hate it because it’s very deep and I can never find anything in that dang thing I keep the good flavors out

A small box. A cardboard one, like the ones that they put bottles of soda in in Walmart. A bit shorter than most of the containers of spices, easy to find, and hard to mess up and lose.

And that’s a very nice trait

I just know she’s never gonna change and also I can’t be with her every time she does it cause it’s usually unpredictable
