I get pestered a lot for grapes too - weird, isn't it? Perhaps we should pat ourselves on the back that our kids don't pester us for lollies at the supermarket (well, mine does, very half-heartedly), but I am incredibly staunch about saying no. <br />As for the broccoli salad, I'll happily eat raw stalks while I'm getting ready to cook them, but a whole dish of it. Hmmmm, I'm not so sure. I do feel in need of more veges though, perhaps I should give it a go...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03985386359945971991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-28776341798209676462012-09-08T09:07:53.189+10:002012-09-08T09:07:53.189+10:00Thanks Joanne - unfortunately I am so much more in...Thanks Joanne - unfortunately I am so much more in a mood to bake cakes now than in summer when there is all that wonderful fruit about - so perhaps this is why I gave in to out of season grapes - as well as pester power :-)Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-41016616160484061752012-09-08T09:06:15.493+10:002012-09-08T09:06:15.493+10:00Thanks Mel - I love some vegetables raw (capsicum,...Thanks Mel - I love some vegetables raw (capsicum, carrot and cucumber) but I think I prefer most cooked - raw always seems virtuous but a bit of a challenge - I made this salad to try and have a go at the raw sort of salads I see aboutJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-61071651920730877682012-09-08T09:03:50.981+10:002012-09-08T09:03:50.981+10:00Thanks Kari - glad to give you a smile - you would...Thanks Kari - glad to give you a smile - you would have been most welcome in our kitchen to share our food and pat the baby cat :-)Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-50320644924773339692012-09-08T09:02:37.146+10:002012-09-08T09:02:37.146+10:00Thanks Astra - the mock tuna salad is brilliant an...Thanks Astra - the mock tuna salad is brilliant and really easy - enjoyJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-31904788968717151432012-09-08T09:02:10.841+10:002012-09-08T09:02:10.841+10:00Thanks Lorraine - I ususally eat lots of it cooked...Thanks Lorraine - I ususally eat lots of it cooked too - but I have seen some raw broccoli salads that I keep think I must try - glad you loved the chia breadJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-39914967374393548492012-09-08T09:01:09.158+10:002012-09-08T09:01:09.158+10:00Thanks Hannah - I think I would prefer this salad ...Thanks Hannah - I think I would prefer this salad to just raw broccoli - though I could easily eat that much microwaved broccoliJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-5506755934506504762012-09-07T22:43:44.714+10:002012-09-07T22:43:44.714+10:00I'm sorry to hear you were a bit disenchanted ...I'm sorry to hear you were a bit disenchanted with that salad!
