Jon was never a big vegetable eater. I didn't ever realize this because he always eats them when I cook them from him. He told me this after we had been married a few months.
J: You know, I don't like vegetables, especially zucchini.
K: Really? I never knew! I'm so sorry I make zucchini all the time! I'll make something else.
J: Actually, I like them the way you make them. I guess I just never had them that way.
K: Really? I just saute them with spices.......how did your dad make them?
J: He boiled them.
Boiled veggies? Ew gross. No wonder my poor husband didn't like vegetables! I steam, roast, sautee and he gobbles it down. Of course, it doesn't hurt to have some great spices in there!

ReplyDeleteSo bizarre -- I also sauteed zucchini for dinner last night. I used garlic instead of basil and added some balsamic vinegar, but otherwise they sound the same. Yummy zucchini!
ReplyDeletepoor thing :( your cooking must seriously be like a breath of fresh air to him.
ReplyDeleteI would love that to work on my hubby. He told me very early on that he only eats potatoes, peas and beans and even hates the sight of fruit or veg... i need to hide mine when I have some! It's quite entertaining!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally using this.. like tonight.. How easy! And sounds so yummy.
