I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

It might be important to note that the decision against Mr. Boisson was overturned.  Justice at work perhaps?

I just finished my delicious dinner which included steamed brussel sprouts served with a seasoning of black pepper and turmeric.  Mmmmm. 

I wake up, check in and oh my, it's brussel sprouts again. I wouldn't have thought of turmeric. That might do it. Or not. I'm trying to like those sprouts, but it's an up hill thing.

OH, PBS has a special on The Doors tonight--timely.

Peas!  A joy from summer -- shelling peas straight off the vine and eating them all.  Hey, I like lima beans too!  Think it some weird lefty thing Rocky? 

Thanks for finding this PiP!  It's good to know the whole story.

That's what makes the world so interesting!  Vegetable preferences!

MUD! That's it - I never could describe what they tasted like. I did remember since my post about detesting them that I have a marvelous recipe for sweet and sour baked beans. It has several different kinds of beans in it, including lima beans. I guess all the brown sugar makes them more palatable.

Blue- I have always felt quite safe in Canada. I remember being in Toronto years ago (living outside of Detroit at the time) and walking back to downtown hotel late at night from a club. A police officer walked up and asked if we were tourists to which we replied yes. He insisted on walking us as back to hotel after sternly warning us that "there had been an attempted mugging three weeks previously and he was concerned for our safety!" OMG! See Detroit reference please:) Fast forward thirty years, I am back in michigan for hs reunion decide to shoot over to windsor to at least inhale some canadian air...poor guy at customs was FREAKING out I was by myself driving off into Detroit by myself. On another note, I have found canadians (friends, relatives and coworkers) to all be among the most outspoken folks I have ever known. Never afraid to say what is on their minds...far from it. Maybe that is part of the reason why I am so attracted to them. Ah, that and the salt n vinegar chips and macintosh toffee before I could them (the chips) here in the states! Although, it was kinda sad to hear the folks I talked to in Windsor so alarmed about all the crime that had drifted over from DETROIT>>>>>ack!

On another note, first it was brussel sprouts, now it lima beans. Do you people have no mercy? What is next, waterboarding for watercress? I note that this polific hate crosses all country, religious and socia-economic lines. Stop the killing. The sound of the bean being dropped in the boiling water brings tears to my eyes....

man blue, your little tagline is TRUE

Garlic butter on the lima beans; garlic butter makes everything taste good.

Annette, you are too funny.  And a former Detroiter!  Your Detroit-Windsor crossing stories reminded me of all the contraband kinder-eggs and aero bars my daughter and I used to bring back to the U.S. whenever we ducked over to Windsor.  (Can I say that here?  I don't know what the statute of limitations on kinder egg smuggling is.)

Sandy, I took a break after my post was deleted (the most recent in a series of deletions).  It left a bad feeling, and I wasn't sure if I really wanted to stick around.  But it's been restored, and I do miss the back and forth about vegetables and whatever, so here I am.

lewing - 

I'm glad you're back. I always like your posts.

It would be nice to discover the identity of the devious deleters. It seems like such a sneaky way to behave.
