I know it's an old wive's tale, but I _____ anyway.

It was my dad's tale ~ we couldn't drink milk whenever we ate anything with rhubarb ~ It'll curdle your stomach!! I still can't have the 2 of them together :)

I don't eat any of that Vegetable Crap

I don't eat bananas or anything with them in it. They don't agree with me and even the smell can do me in.
I agree with the shredded coconut on things ~ yuck!
Cooked raisins are avoided if at all possible.
I would rather eat chicken livers then beef liver.

Blogwatch: Potato Gnocchi

I just tried making gnocchi on Sat. and I too blamed my lack of a ricer and an Italian grandmother for them not being a rousing success. I used the grater method, but still thought I needed to add too much flour.
Think I'll stick with making my potatoes into lefse :o)

We had this the other night and my husband said it was a keeper. It was pretty darn good. Next time though I don't think I'll bother using the sieve and just use all of the pea purée.

What to Do with Sunchoke?

Hasn't anyone else had problems after eating them? I was sure I had poisoned us all after I fixed them the first & last time. Doing a search for more info I found someone who said that they were gas forming when cooked but eaten raw didn't cause as much of a problem. I then could breath, I really did serve sun chokes and not something poisonous.

I just found this ~ Gerard's Herbal, printed in 1621, quotes the English planter John Goodyer on Jerusalem artichokes:

"which way soever they be dressed and eaten, they stir and cause a filthy loathsome stinking wind within the body, thereby causing the belly to be pained and tormented, and are a meat more fit for swine than men."
