…of mixed veggies - Broccoli, Cauliflower, and Carrots. They were really good, and apparently I got 4 servings in, but my tum-tum is protesting right now. I think it’s gonna be a bumpy night. Good thing there’s no one here but me and the dogs. :eek: ---

Well, at least you can eat your dessert with a clean conscience. 😛 ---

Mmmm. I could eat a whole bag of broccoli right now. ---

That was a common lunch for me last summer. Either that or a similarly sized bag of carrots. Dip optional. ---

My advice is to drink plenty of fluids. This too shall pass. ---

Light a match. Or a candle. I drove about 450 miles one time, snacking on a bag of cut’n’peel carrots on the way. When I reached my destination, my jaws were very sore, and I was completely untroubled by constipation. ---

I’m convinced that this whole “eat 5 pieces of fruit and veg a day” bullshit is just a ploy by the manufacturers of toilet paper, antacids and/or air freshener. If I ate 5 pieces of fruit and veg a day, my house would be sealed off as a biohazard area. ---

I can sympathize. Saturday night I didn’t feel like cooking so I had an entire bag of Green Giant baby Brussels sprouts in butter sauce (which is supposed to be about 3 servings) with just a few shrimp as my protein. The next morning I was doubled over in pain from a stubborn gas bubble. Fortunately for my co-workers, it passed quickly before I had to go to work. Gotta love those cruciferous vegetables. The gift that keeps on giving.
