When my husband and I were first dating, he was a 40-year old vegetable-hater with a twice-a-day fast food habit. I took JenPDX's approach: sell the veggies as DELICIOUS, not as healthy. Five years later, my husband is a borderline vegetarian who looks forward to our weekly trips to the farmers market! LOL Think of the starchy veggies as "gateway vegetables." Start serving butternut squash soup or a simple curry with carrots, peas, and potatoes. And all of the root vegetables are delicious when gratineed with a little cream and grated cheese. Roasting root vegetables, sauteeing leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables with bacon/pancetta, and garnishing with a little cheese sauce have all been mentioned here, and were the methods I used to convert my husband into a vegetable lover. Good luck! Apartment Therapy The Kitchn \| How Do You Get Fussy Adults to Eat Their Vegetables? Flag this comment	8/13/08 11:51 AM
I would have sauteed it in olive oil to cook it as a last ditch effort. But I seriously doubt that you can salvage microwaved eggplant. My all-time record holder for a botched recipe came courtesy of Martha Stewart. I tried a recipe for sesame brittle from a holiday issue and the mixture seized up in the pot. I was never able to get all the gunk out of the pan (even tried boiling water in it) and had to throw out the whole pot. Sugar: $2; sesame seeds: $3.50; calphalon pot: $65 OUCH.

I was 19 and taking my first ever apple tart from a 425 degree oven to the dining table. I accidentally pushed the false bottom of the pan up and the ring slid onto my wrist, branding myself with the fluted edge. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn \| What Was Your Worst Kitchen Injury?

My husband and I bought one in 2005 and we take it to the farmers' market every Saturday. We put our purchases into reusable bags and hang those on the Hook-and-Go. It's especially useful when we need to buy meat. Ever had your shoulder go out while schlepping a leg of lamb around the farmers' market? It folds up nicely and can be stashed away in the corner until your next trip. BTW, I've never impaled anyone with the bar on the Hook-and-Go. But there are several oblivious bobos at my market that I'd like to. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn \| Hot or Not? Hook and Go Urban Shopper#comments#comments Flag this comment	5/30/08 12:53 PM
My mom cooked traditional Chinese dishes every night. We always soaked the beans in a little water before using, to get rid of any grit. We kept them in a jar in the cupboard, not the fridge. They're low in moisture due to the salt, so they won't go bad. Apartment Therapy The Kitchen \| Ingredient Spotlight: Fermented Black Beans Flag this comment	3/27/08 10:58 AM
