Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Well that does it with the kohlrabi! Did you ever have a dish your mom cooked so often that you actually hated that food? My husband can't stand cooked cabbage. His mother's house always smelled of cooked cabbage. So, if kohlrabi has a slight cabbage flavor...he won't touch it. Funny, cause he loves cabbage slaw. sue ---- Donnalilacflower 08/08/06 09:43:19 Question of the Week I got one here kohlrabi It's great grated in salads. You can cut in slices and steam. It has a slight cabbage flavor. Now go get some and serve it to your husband.LOL I haver not tried the kohrabi tops, I'm curious but I better find out if they are piosonous first. Doesn't it look like a space ship? Donna --- Sue <kup wrote: > I would like to know that also. I always threaten > my husband with cooking > up a mess of kohlrabi.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Ha! Mom and I lived alone from the time I was 12, and she was not a cook. Burgers, fried chicken, meatloaf were about the extent of her cooking. I can't remember her cooking anything I didn't like. sue ---- Marilyn Daub 08/09/06 11:40:55 Re: Question of the Week I got one here kohlrabi Yes, macaroni and cheese!!

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 My mom wasn't a (good) cook either. My sister & I always joke that we learned to cook in self-defense She used to make this salad in the summer that was cool whip, cottage cheese, flavored gelatin powder, mandarin orange slices(canned) and canned pineapple. Everyone hated it but she would always make it. And this awful egg, noodle, cheese & onion crockpot thing that had that nasty budding sliced meat in it too. It was so thick and pasty it would stick to the spoon in a big wad. Later in life though she has developed better skills and now does really good pumpkin pie every holiday & her bean soups are great, so there's almost always hope.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Mostly I think she was tired - single mom school full time & working part time & 2 kids. Plus one time she told me if she could feel full & get all her nutrition, she'd just as soon take a pill instead of eating. Not a foodie. She always did make a really good spanish rice tho'.
