So I find myself staring at this table full of... I don't know what. It was all green and leafy, but in different shades of green, different textures, different lengths and thicknesses... I had no idea what most of it was, much less how to go about eating it.
And so... I ASKED!
It's a big deal. I used to have (and ok, I got a little twinge of it at the farmer's market too) this thing where it was so important to me to present a certain image (in this case the "I belong here and know how to cook healthy things" image) that there is no way in hell I would have asked what a vegetable was. Much less gone with follow up questions like "how do you prepare it" and "what is the flavor like" and even "could I try a leaf?"
So yeah, more relaxing, more letting go of rigidity (that's kind of the same as relaxing, isn't it).

(I have the image thing sometimes too.)
Also is the picture celery, shallots/spring onion and ...cos lettuce?
thanks, chrysalis....
this was a random picture i found online, lol
Does that mean you're not sure? lol. I will go on feeling proud of myself for identifying two, maybe three, out of three, then! Until someone comes along and corrects me. :P
So... what was this mystery veggie? And how does one prepare it? And what does it taste like? (:
chrysalis: no, it just means i didn't even really look at the veg in this picture, lol
kevin: there were cabbages, 3 kinds of lettuce, chard (i was pretty sure i knew which was chard), squash blossoms... that's all i can remember.
