Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for November 12, 2021

Besides, it’s not like she was going to eat it.

It’s a real life horror story!

My kids had no problem eating “trees”.

Frankly I like broccoli. Au gratin if possible

Could have been worse, Nerwin…she could have gone full witch on you!

Broccoli for dessert? Broom-Hilda isn’t the female Green Giant.

Live and learn Nerwin.

I remember serving broccoli to two little kids and their mother. Both the kids turned up their noses at. They must’ve thought it’d taste like their momma’s steamed variety. I cooked mine with salt and butter added with just a little of crunch left. The 5 year old gave it a try and loved it, as did his momma. The 6 year old didn’t. In the end, the 6 year old decided to give in and try it, but by then the others had eaten it all.

Funny comic. This would work with zucchini, then the dessert could have been zucchini cake. My recently deceased wife had a really good chocolate one, and blueberry lemon with zucchini also. Actually she had many and we really enjoyed them.

She should have made gelatin with suspended broccoli crowns…

No. 3 Great Little Looooooves broccoli. #2 not so much

Self forehead slap.

I’m glad I moved out of that phase, I love broccoli. But for dessert?

A baked potato, au gratin or scalloped potatoes with added broccoli is a tasty dish.

So no broccoli, no dessert right?

Clever, Broomie—this time. But I suspect Nerwin will be even more resistant in the future….

Wow, Broomie. This is for you: (I apologize for the language, but I could not find a way to share this while avoiding it.) https://www.jennifermcgrail.com/2015/02/dear-parents-dont-be-an-asshole/

My dog didn’t like broccoli either.
