I eat lots of broccoli, not because I like broccoli, but because I eat a lot of crap that’s “good” for me in my old age, and very little stuff (like ice cream and chocolate and bear claws and cheeseburgers and pizza and… you get the point) that I want to eat. Often to make it taste a little bit less like green, semi-crunchy cardboard, I’ll put a few drops of Sweet Baby Ray’s HOT sauce on it.
A couple nights ago dinner consisted of the aforementioned steamed fresh broccoli, plus a bunch of shrimp. I do love shrimp, and yes, it’s on that list with ice cream and pizza.
But we had no cocktail sauce. An error in my shopping calculations. So I improvised. I already had the Sweet Baby Ray’s out…
Double up the hot sauce on the broccoli, and then really lay it on while coating the shrimp in it.
Thinking about all of that hot sauce on something that my doctor would not approve of to begin with got me thinking. (Which is often not a good thing.)
I won’t tell my doctor if you don’t! (And it wasn’t bad – I would have preferred the cocktail sauce, but it beats using ketchup!)

Well, I love broccoli, chocolate and icecream and not most of the other things you mentioned… pizza being the main exception, occasionally.
I pickled some vegetables last month. I don’t usually make pickles because I don’t like them. But I had a glut of veg, so….
I put some in a sandwich today. They were perfect! Crunch, bite and a little zing to make the ordinary, extra— well you get the picture 🙂
