PB&J

I didn't like asparagus or spinach when I was a child, because my mom always made the canned variety, and they're both fucking yucky.  I've come to accept asparagus on certain things, and I downright love raw spinach.

My mother-in-law always cooks her asparagus until it is the consistency of canned mush. I always wonder if she thinks I under cook mine because it still has the texture of a plant.

My mother-in-law recently had an exchange student from Germany staying with her.  She had two negative things to say about food in the USA:

1) we have cheese with EVERYTHING (My response: Yeah....so?  Cheese is delicious!)
2) We don't cook our vegetables until they're mush

I like my veggies to have a bit of crisp to them.  Especially my green beans.  I steam them until they are a nice shade of green.  Mushy veggies are teh yuck.

One of the biggest rifts in my marriage - Grumpus likes canned green beans.  Brownish, mushy, canned.  It baffles me.

My mom cooks her green beans down all the way, puts more water in and does it again.

Sucks every nutrient and vitamin right out of them, but damn they taste good.
