Hello, again everyone!

I want to start encorporating vegetables and fish in to my diet,
but i realize how few vegetables i am familiar with. Anyone
has any suggestion on the vegetables i should get?

Sapphiregirl

carrots are yummy.

so are mushrooms!

and olives.

Some of the most delicious and nutrient-dense:

• Sweet potatoes, droooool.
  
• Kale, freakin' yum. You can just feel yourself getting healthier when you eat kale.
  
• Broccoli. Listen, I make the best broccoli in the world. Wash some fresh heads of broccoli. Cut into florets. Put a tiny bit of water in a skillet, like less than a quarter of a cup. Throw in a few pats of butter, up to half a stick, and some garlic or garlic powder, salt and pepper. You can also use Adobo. Bring to a sizzling boil, throw in the broccoli, cover and cook on high till tender-crisp. FUCKING DELICIOUS. Listen to me, my kids' friends request my broccoli, that's how good it is. Or that's how weird they are. Whatever. It's full of fiber, vitamin C, and has more calcium, cup for cup, than milk.
  
• All kinds of mushrooms - portobello, shiitake, regular white button. Sauteed in butter with fresh herbs, they are the best thing ever. They support your immune system too.

...and Jerseykrs's fave, brocoli raabe:

"Kale, freakin' yum"

Looks so much like a line we would have used in one of our vegetarian/vespa Prince songs back in the day

ThirdandFinal said:

This kale is so good in every single way!

FunkMistress said:

I said kale, but I'm keeping my pants on

Kale means 'baldie' in dutch

Kale is tasty.

Cookin
Cookin up some kale soup

Swiss Chard is really good...steam it in about a half inch of water in a dutch oven and cook up some minced garlic in a pan with olive oil...once the garlic is cooked and the Chard has wilted, drain and put the chard in the garlic/oil mixture and add either some canned/jar white navy beans or cannili beans...

It's amazing stuff.

Teacher said:

well they aren't a mineral or an animal

ZombieKitten said:

Well if they're not vegetables they must be one of them. I say they're animals, because you can't eat minerals.

Although a guy in my class at school used to eat sand.

ZombieKitten said:

Wait `til I tell The Wife. She's vegetarian and eats mushrooms! Murderer!!

fathermcmeekle said:

ZombieKitten said:

On this thread you've learned that olives are animals, yet me being married gets an omfg!

fathermcmeekle said:

I thought you were married to the church, but I agree, a real lady would be so much better

if wine is the blood of christ, then I believe anything you say about mushrooms

Zombie and Father
Didn't they teach you not to contradict the Teacher?

if it's stems, roots and leaves it's a vegetable over here

now, if it eats, roots and leaves, it is a man
