I did. That is where I got my quote.

Hello...NEWMAN :)

If that was truly the case my God would have made the broccoli taste like bacon.

I’m not going to read it again, said nothing study

Ha! Good one. Happy Resurrection Day.

Going grocery shopping today (instead of my usual Sunday -
which happens to be Easter this week) - and I will buy
some broccoli. I like the stuff, and it IS very healthy.

So is cabbage - and I just checked, I have half a bag left of
shredded cabbage - enough for 2 or 3 servings of home-made
sugar free coleslaw. (Yes, sugar is by default put into coleslaw -
and I am a diabetic, you see - so one MORE thing I have to make
homemade myself...)

.

But I draw the line at kale. I refuse to eat kale -
it is bitter and gross. But kale is so super-healthy that I
have tried numerous recipes to try to get it into my diet.
But kale is still kale - no matter what you do to it.
Therefore it is still gross, and I will not eat it.

I even tried '1/4 Kale Slaw' a couple of times (1/ kale 3/4 cabbage) -
with different ingredients to try to make it edible - but nope -
still bitter and gross - Blech...

That was supposed to be - '1/4 kale 3/4 cabbage'.

“Other green things? Brussel Sprouts, spinaches, and you know what they all have in common? They’re great with bacon.”

After roasting Brussels sprounts, I pour a mixture of melted butter, garlic and bacon over it. Yum.

I wonder if it lines other areas that might help protect from UTIs.
