On this day 36 years ago today, President George H.W. Bush declares to reporters his disdain for broccoli and vows to never eat broccoli again.

admire him for being a volunteer carrier pilot and almost being cannabalized, but he got put in the front of the line when he wasn’t qualified because of, Bush, then his son got the same treatment during the Vietnam war, and he went AWOL when it was time to pay for those flying lessons

And by cooked right it means smothered in cheese sauce.

Roasted in the oven with Veggie Roaster Seasoning is delicious. Cauliflower, too.

Broccoli is the worst. Spinach is much better

There’s a whole West Wing episode about that but it’s green beans instead of broccoli.

While I do like it with cheese, I like it without as well.

The long kind (broccolini?) grilled to a light char with salt, pepper, lemon juice is a nice little side dish.

for some reason I thought of Bush saying that at random, coming home from work last week.
