On this journey back into my Little Black Dress, I have developed some strange relationships. I dont know how to explain it. I guess it is possible that it is unexplainable. Some things do seem to defy explanation.
Take my new love. No really, take it! Im confused so maybe you can figure it out. I NEVER thought much about this item except to get it raw and dip it in some high calorie buttermilk ranch dressing. It wasnt a diet item when eaten that way.
Then something strange happened. I steamed it and the more I ate it with my grilled chicken, the more I began to crave it. I dont know what its all about! Why would I start craving something that is good for me? And even if I try to ignore it and leave it alone, there doesnt seem to be a cure for this new love. I think about it so much now that I have a freezer full. Lovely bags of fresh frozen. Yum!
HEY! I THINK I LOVE YOU!
I don’t know what I’m up against
I don’t know what it’s all about
I’ve go so much to think about
Hey! I think I love you!
So what am I so afraid of?
I’m afraid that I’m not sure of
A love there is no cure for
I think I love you
Isn’t that what life is made of?
Though it worries me to say
I’ve never felt this way

I, TOO, SHARE YOUR LOVE OF BROCCOLI!!!! I eat it often. Very often. Lorelli loves it, too, so that helps. You have seen my passion for watermelon. And carrots, lovely, crunchy, yummy, orange carrots. I could eat a ton of them. And cucumber. But, maybe I just love vegetables. Either way, I am eating more of them and less of their starchy counterparts such as corn and potatoes and squash. While all those things are necessary – the yummy purely vieggy veggies are DELISH!!
