I missed the broccoli post until today - but the key to the stems is to peal them as you would carrots. After pealed you'll find that the are much better. The are sweeter than the tops. I like mine steamed with lemon and dill or stir-fried with water chestnuts and roasted garlic.
Hi, CG - Just dropping by to say hi and glean a little inspiration as well. Still trying poetry, I am, and playing wtih the idea of a "self made"chapbook. Love that you've done it, and btw, I remember this haiku and do so enjoy it.! Happy end-of-summer!
One of the best things about this time of the year Juliet is the spiders' webs.
