I’m actually good friends w the Broccoli family. They are the descendants of the Italian farmer who first brought it to America.

That’s the way I remember the story, anyhow. Don’t shoot me if I’m wrong. :)

Broccoli is one of my favs. I don't like peas - English are the worst!

My Doc says it is good for your prostate.

I also find it difficult to obtain good tasting peaches, plums, and apricots.[/QUOTE]

You have to go to the farm. None of them travel well. They are always picked green and shipped while hard as rocks. Somewhere along the way they “ripen.”
Pluck a warm peach off the sunny side of the tree and mush into it (you can’t bite a ripe peach, it’s too soft). Just slurp it in, let the juice run down your chin, and you have tasted heaven.
Use pretty much the same method to enjoy plums and apricots.

For "some reason" this part reminded me of some of my previous girlfriends.

I haven’t spent much time in the city, so I wouldn’t know, but I have a great memory of the one time I was there.

I stopped in a little hole in the wall restaurant with 5 or 6 tables. I had a great lunch of white asparagus in butter with a boiled egg, some fantastic fresh bread, and a bottle of cheap white wine. The owner came out and asked me how I liked it. She told me something about how it was some Belgian traditional food - in her Texas accent. She had spent 30 years or so cooking in Texas, said she was on the Bush family domestic staff for a while. Nice lady. Great lunch.

I love broccoli! However, too much is bad for people with arthritis.

That would be the family. The children of Albert "Cubby" Broccoli are my friends and they told me the farmer/great uncle story. Awesome people. :)

The Arthritis Foundation says it’s good for OR. There is a lot of conflicting info on line. We just have to pick a source we believe and go with it.

A guy walks into a bar. There’s a sign on the back bar:
“Hand jobs $5
Cheese Sandwich $6”
The barmaid says, “What can I do for you?”
“Wash your hands and make me a cheese sandwich”

Banda Boom. Thank you, I’ll be here all week.
