Eergh. Enough to put me off Christmas, that. Or is it a sneaky way of persuading your kids they're nice?

I picked my first bowl of sprouts yesterday! One of my most FAVOURITE green veggies.  Now, I am not a religious person at all, but to me they will always be God's Green Golf Balls of Lurve! ;D

stop it ladies. I just laughed so much I nearly spat my cheese and lettuce sandwich (ooh - I just realised all the ingredients are organic!) all over my computer!

Now I love sprouts. and I love curry. And I also love Mr Aqui. But I will never put the three together!

I even loved sprouts as a child (strange girl!) But I've only this year discovered a liking for broccoli since I found out it doesn't need to be boiled for a month, like mother used to do!

Know that one Aquilegia, when we were kids on a sunday morning would be up early for sunday school , mum would already be up perparing the veg before we left ,the veg would be on, when we got back the veg would still be on ,
Then it would be down to see our Nan and gramp with our dad while mum was still cooking the sunday roast , after our Nan's it would be a hour up the park and then back home and guess what the veg would still be on , about 30clock when all the water was gone in the pan we would sit down and have sunday dinner
