Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

We buy a normandy mix as they call it at Costco has most of what you are saying few minutes in a 375 oven ready to eat.

I dont like cooked cauliflower. It's fine raw.

I loved cooked cauliflower! I have a couple recipes to die for. But, if you don't like it, you don't like it. Both my recipes are oven baked, so maybe that's the difference. Boiled and steamed cauliflower can be pretty bland.

Maybe the secret is cauliflower that isn't mushy. That's a bad thing.

It's something about the cooked flavor. It's really weird for me. I've eaten enough as a kid. But I ate liver as a kid too. Mostly just swallowing bites without chewing. I love lima beans.

I've tried a few of the thing were cauliflower was used as a substitute, too. Mashed cauliflower is enough to make me not hungry. Pizza crust tastes like it's gone bad to me.

I think there are things we all say we do not want to eat again.
Adult Son here does not eat tomato that said he will eat fried green tomato.

Hubby hates fresh tomato and only eats it cooked in certain ways. He won't eat oysters. His first encounter with one was on a seafood pizza on the Oregon coast as an adult. My parents had taken us to that place every year when on vacation as kids.

My parents encouraged us to try everything as kids. His did not and it created some aversions, but he's tried new things on purpose as an adult.

Cooked cauliflower and liver are pretty much my dislikes on flavor. Hubby loves liver so I'd cook some for him occasionally. He will get me oysters.

That makes a huge difference. I remember as a kid my mom would just come up to me with a spoonful of something or an item on a fork and tell me to eat it, and I'd only learn what it was after. Even now I'm willing to try almost anything as long as 1) its not a bug and 2) not starting at me.

Hubby came from a very meat and potatoes family. I had to introduce him to almost everything outside his comfort zone, as it didn't occur to him to try it himself. There's still some things I struggle to get him to eat (like Indian food, I have to cook it so I can tone down the seasonings a lot, and he'll still only eat a handful of dishes) but after a while even his family noticed how much more open he was to trying new things.

I love cauliflower any way it comes! I think I first started liking it having it in the pickled giardiniera. Hot and spicy!

Ah good morning we always had to try a food.
Problem there was had to cook it to death.
I hate over cooked vegetables or meat.
I will still eat liver if I cook it. I have turned into snob that way.

This morning I trimmed my tomato vines back so they can direct all their energies toward making big, beautiful, red, ripe fruits before the first frost. While pruning I got splattered with a few big random raindrops.

Since I don't know if the potatoes I grew are good for long term storage I'm going to parboil and freeze some of them. Seems like it would take much less effort freezing them than canning them.

Got 5 eggs again today. The girls are just over 17 months old now. They need to hurry up and molt before it gets too cold.
