As long as you've posted have posted here you should know as picky as Bovine
claims to be and the others in her herd, she has no intention of cooking
fennel. And whatever recipe anyone posts she will come forth with a big
EWWWWWWW; Angela, she, nor her husband will touch whatever is suggested.
The only thing she is interested in is seeing her name on each and every
post.

What a bunch of hooey! And now you are calling me names too? Here's what I
made for dinner so far. The roast fennel, caramelized roasted butternut
squash, potato and cheese pierogies (Mrs. T's), lightly sautéed with sweet
onions and two bowls of salad. Husband's was an Asian chicken salad from
Costco, which I discovered contains no greens. Luckily I had those.
Actually daughter made her own salad which was greens and carrots with black
olives. Husband loved the fennel and squash, daughter hated them. I have
yet to eat. Since I can't eat a lot of vegetables, I will take small
amounts but more fennel than squash. I will probably also have a pita bread
with peanut butter and fruit spread. Normally I would have some sort of
beans but I had those for breakfast today.

On most weeks now, we have dinner out once. We take my mom to dinner. And
take her to lunch twice a week. I make dinner all the other nights. Might
not always be totally from scratch but usually at least one thing is from
scratch. My family just prefers some things that are not from scratch.
Like instant mashed potatoes. Go figure. They like the texture better. I
try to fix what they like. Daughter liked fennel once. Didn't like it
tonight. But she is good to try things.

I suppose your family is perfect though. Is that why you don't post of
them? They are sooooo perfect it would make the rest of us hang our heads
in shame. Right? And you probably cooked dinner tonight in your perky
little dress with the 18"waist, your perfectly starched white apron, pearls
and high heels. Right?
