I like spinach and other greens and cabbage and such...but I do think a lot of it is in the preparation! Almost ANY green tastes great with bacon grease. Mmmm...bacon grease... Or corned beef and cabbage or cabbage rolls. Yum!

But I also like spinach with just olive oil and vinegar.

I also LOVE okra...which makes me part of a small but privileged portion of the population, I guess. ;-)

Morning... kind of cloudy here, like it's gonna rain. Be careful, you snowy people.

Last midterm today! I had a nightmare that a class I've done the midterm for had a surprise "bonus" midterm. Ugh. Pray for me!

Good morning!

Well, my computer is still dead. The old power supply had something loose rattling in it, so my sister replaced it last night to see if that was the problem.

Unfortunately, we have narrowed it down to either the CPU or the (~gasp!~) motherboard. *sigh*

She took the box home with her and is constructing a frankenstein machine out of it and another machine she has at home, so I hope to be back online by the end of the week.

If not, I will have to wait until I can order a stripped-down Dell box and have my sister cannabalize my old machine to get all of the peripherals, memory, etc out of it to put in the new machine.

As always, things are never easy. ~shrugs~

As a kid, I wouldn't touch okra. As an adult, it's okay. I still don't like squash, but I ~will~ eat it so as not to be rude. Fresh spinach is good cooked or raw, but the canned stuff makes me gag. Cabbage is one of those things that has to be in disguise for me to eat, LOL. Love hominy. Hominy is almost as good as popcorn. I like carrots, just not cooked to smitherines.

PE loathes lima beans. I love em. He can have my peas, and I'll take his lima beans.

The SMART portion, too! ;o)

I love any FRESH green vegetable : zucchini, broccoli, spinach (I like it raw with mandarin oranges, purple onion, and a bacon vinagrette...MMMMM!!), asparagus (LOVE asparagus when its fresh...just bought a whole bunch at $.99 at the local grocers...boiled until just tender, then skillet sauted with either a mix of ginger/soy sauce/sesame seeds, or herb de provence and butter), lettuces, especially the kind that go into mesclun mixes. I hate it when someone boils the heck out of a vegetable...I like mine to have a 'crunch' most of the time. I especially love grilled vegetables.
