steamthings asked: Little broccoli, what is up with those socks? You have inspired me this week to eat more squash... thanks to your baby squash pic last week. Anyhow, what is good 'odd' veggie that tastes good grilled, trying to open my horizons beyond microwave hot dogs. :P

I couldn’t afford what I wanted to get, and I couldn’t get what I could afford because it wouldn’t...
