My nieces were suppose to hate broccoli and cauliflower, according to their mother.
My brother and I fixed some raw broccoli and cauliflower in separate bowls and put some cold Ranch dressing, Chunky Blue Cheese dressing, and some Creamy Italian Dressing into some small bowls around the table.
We has steamed some broccoli and cauliflower separately and made a Holiday sauce to put beside them.
We hard boiled some eggs, and had a hot rotisserie Chicken we bought from Walmart
We set out the empty plates around the table with forks and spoons, and call the children into the dining room, and told them we were having "Trees and Clouds" for supper!
It was great!
The kids sat there a short amount of time, and watched me and my brother and my mother chow down.
Then they cautiously tried a raw piece of broccoli and cauliflower dipped into the different types of dressing.
Then they tried the steamed broccoli and cauliflower that we had buttered heavily and seasoned with sea salt and a touch of black pepper.
The kids started diving into the food and before it was realized with all their talking, they wiped out all of it.
When they got back to their mother's (my brother's divorced) house, the kids went on and on about eating "Trees and Clouds" and wanted their mother to do it.
When my brother's ex-wife asked us what they were talking about we told here they wanted broccoli and cauliflower, both raws with cold dressing, and steamed separately. His ex-wife couldn't believe it.
