Girls Talk - I Don't Do Greens!

Today, I will be bonding with my blog sisters at Girls Talk to chat about the chosen theme for this Thursday – the color Green.

What a day to join! When I hear the word “Green”, the only thing I can think of is vegetables, and how I don’t like to eat them! Bad mommy, bad mommy! That’s why I never grew!

People who know me will tell you that I am so fussy with food (especially the green leafy kind) that I even pick the veggies out in pancit (a.k.a. chow mein, rice noodles) and put them aside separately on my plate when they are cooked too big and visible.

But, not to be a total veggie monster, there is one consolation. Although I don’t eat all veggies, I do have a favourite veggie and that would be the green bean or sitaw. Any dish with green beans will be eaten unreservedly….and finished by me :-) The best is when the green beans are sautéed in soy sauce and cooked with some meat and seafood (preferably shrimps or squid balls). Yummy!

The green beans as they were laid out on the kitchen table, unsuspecting of what lay ahead of them.

Chopped off and ready to be slaughtered….er, I mean, sautéed.

It was too gruesome for words so no pictures were taken while the green beans were being cooked to perfection.

Green beans in all their glory, served at the dinner table.

At least my child looked happy when served with them. Or was she just happy to see the camera? Hmmm.....
