The veg trouble for me resides in the chopping, oh the time-consuming chopping. I like oven roasting vegetables which requires little or no chopping and sometimes caramelizes them.Nimblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16426446791363667887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349472.post-27823048226055269992014-04-14T18:22:21.633-07:002014-04-14T18:22:21.633-07:00Even though I enjoy vegetables very much, I tend t...Even though I enjoy vegetables very much, I tend to forget about them in the refigerator until it's too late, so I do best with frozen vegetables. (Which you don't have to buy in expensive little packets from the store freezer -- chop thefresh ones up the day you get them and seal them up yourself!) So convenient! The texture is not the best, but it's also not terrible, especially if I am hungry and they are mixed with some other starch or protein. And it is much better than not having them at all.lijhehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09213848554493937668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349472.post-41503469695863033692014-04-12T11:07:44.572-07:002014-04-12T11:07:44.572-07:00Marly, yes, Martha and I blundered by failing to i...Marly, yes, Martha and I blundered by failing to include a cook in this marriage.

I am married to a man who love to cook, and so I neglect most of the agonies of the kitchen--and if one doesn't have to cook dinner every day, it's pleasant to cook a meal.

Works with everything.<br />But salad, that is: any green leaves and tomato or radish (depending on the season) and avocado and a handful of dry roasted pine nuts, salad is holy.

I'm not entirely certain, even though I do not wish to be cantankerously oppositional to your experiential interaction with vegetables, that no veg is better than ruined veg. For 'ruined' read overcooked.<br /><br />For example, neither Brussel sprouts mush nor courgette (zucchini) splosh should be allowed to exist in a civilised universe. (Okay, so the universe isn't civilised - so far as we know - and mush and splosh do exist.)

Or I microwave them with whatever else I could throw in a sealed dish to scarf quickly at work. <br /><br />It's really easy to grow lettuce at home, too.
