Holy Cruciferous!
Oh dear. I've just caused a mass exodus from our open plan office after I microwaved broccoli florets in a bag for lunch, and opened the bag. They have a point; the smell is rather foul. I've promised to eat quickly but the damage is already done!
What is it about broccoli? Last weekend I had dinner at a friend's house. At one point, everyone looked at my 19-month-old and said, "Hmm, the baby smells like she needs a diaper change." After a quick inspection and subsequent investigation, we discovered that the offending smell was *not* a poopy diaper - it was a bag of precooked broccoli that my friend was reheating in the kitchen. What makes broccoli so stinky?
I read about the reason for that the other day. I'll try and remember where. It's only packaged broccoli though; I've never had the same yuckiness with grabbing florets straight from the market.
I'm Sara; I'm just me. My CR-Life is the diarying of an on/off experiment in following a calorie restricted diet for longevity. Apparently it doesn't work on/off. But it's better than nothing.
This blog is just rambling, really. Recipes, gardening, minor-angst-I_should-be-too-old for... just me, really.
