Broccoli and rice cakes...

This time of year I have a very hard time keeping on any weight. Skiing and chipping/sawing out in the cold and snow keeps my weight way down. So yesterday I slow cooked a picnic pork roast to make pulled BBQ pork on rice. That and with fudgey chocolate cake dessert that a women gave me after I chipped up her storm limbs for a few hours yesterday afternoon.

Snow day here today... again!

No more Novas for us heavy battle decorated AS Rep ho's. The system maxed us all out at what we have now. We still get more rep points, but no more rep bling.

Actually, it is good. They call it sunshine slaw or something. It has coleslaw dressing, broccoli, carrots, sunflower seeds, and raisins or cranberries and sometimes cheese. Just don't make a puree of it like a close relative of mine did. Then you have to eat it and try not to gag and compliment it knowing that because you complimented it, you'll get it served again.

Hey 2 inches of snow so far, and a logtruck that I know went by with chains on...on the highway. The white death is back.

Sounds like something you'd make a poultice out of for sunburn. Or maybe feed to a gerbil.

The goats would eat it! Or the chickens (they are just goats with wings).

I read this and I didn't know you were supposed to cook the broccoli for 30 seconds. Wonder what that does? Well, before the power does weirdness again, here it is.
Wisconsin Sunshine Broccoli Salad

8 cups fresh small broccoli florets (about 1 pound)

8 ounces bacon slices, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (1/2 cup purchased precooked crumbled bacon can be substituted)

1 small red onion, very thinly sliced, then cut into quarters

3/4 cup roasted, salted sunflower nuts

3/4 cup dried cranberries

1/2 to 3/4 cup coarsely shredded Cheddar cheese (optional)

Dressing:

1 cup mayonnaise (reduced-fat mayo is fine, but don't use Miracle Whip)

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons vinegar

Heat a large pot of salted water to a vigorous boil. Add broccoli; when water returns to boiling, cook 30 seconds, then drain immediately and shower with cold water until completely cool (if you can, plunge the broccoli into a pot of ice water after draining and rinsing). Drain the broccoli very well in a colander for 15 minutes.

While the broccoli cools, combine dressing ingredients in a small bowl; set aside. Cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring frequently. Drain well, discarding bacon drippings. Combine cooked bacon, onion, sunflower nuts and dried cranberries in a very large bowl. When the broccoli has drained well, add to the bacon mixture and combine gently with your hands or a wooden spoon. Add the cheese and dressing, stirring gently to combine. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour before serving.

Yield: 6 to 8 servings.

See, it is almost good for you. Just don't puree it.

Sounds like a double dog dare is in order. What if we threw a huckleberry in it? :hmm3grin2orange:

+1 Bob. I never could enjoy let alone eat something that smells like poop when you cook it.

You're wise beyond your years.

You just stick with the ice cream machine and we'll give you all the broccoli you want. Brussel sprouts, too. Aren't brussel sprouts poisonous to Irishmen?

NO. That would be cruel and unusual punishment for the huckleberry. NO.
