just like broccoli


When I was little my favorite vegetable was broccoli. Yes, I'm serious.
My vest was thrifted.


I liked when my mom cooked it in quiche,
 or broccoli chicken casserole.



I would also eat broccoli cooked
as a side vegetable.

My purse was thrifted.


My dad would put lemon juice on his broccoli.

He doesn't like vegetables.

Now I like to eat broccoli with rice,
on pizza, in pasta, or with rice wine vinegar.

Journal my friend made, and gave me for Christmas




I have never liked broccoli raw.

I think of an airplane flight when I was sitting next to a woman from Texas,
 but she no longer lived there.

My art journal page from February 26, 2013


She told me she knew she was home when she looked out the airplane window and saw that the trees looked like broccoli.

Now I associate broccoli trees with Texas.
That's always stayed with me. Then I thought about when I felt like I was home.
When I looked out the airplane window and saw mountains.

  2. I can understand not liking the raw broccoli. A lot of produce needs something to give it taste.

  8. Green is such a good color on you and I love that necklace! So pretty. I loved broccoli as a kid too because I saw the birds eating it at the pet store and thought it was cool because they looked like little trees. Haha!
    Thanks for your sweet comment :) I really liked Oz it was cool to see the story from a different perspective and learn how Oz came to be.

  10. Such a cute post. Love the Chanel pictures and your journal art. The kids look super cute. I love broccoli too (they remind me of bonsai) and I think you look lovely in green. :)

  12. I love how each post of yours is a little window into your world. I'm not crazy about raw broccoli either which I find too bitter. But if you're feeling open-minded, try my Turner salad recipe (on the blog). The dressing works its magic on that vegetable and I haven't met anyone who doesn't like it. I am trying (and failing) to picture 'broccoli' trees! I love the idea of having that kind of landscape marker to follow.
