Eating Dinner With My Family

Tonight, my wonderful husband did the cooking.  I had mustard greens from my Front Porch Pickings basket and I had shrimp I needed to use and I had a recipe for Indian spiced both!  We had never had mustard greens before although we have cooked other greens.  I loved that the greens were pureed.  It made them a lovely texture.  I won't lie, the boys weren't the biggest fan of the greens, but I count this recipe as a win.  Why?  Well the first time your eat something, especially something bitter, you are going to have to get used to it before you are going to enjoy it.  An unfamiliar taste, will be perceived as bad most of the time, and almost every time if it's bitter since bitter is nature's way of warning of toxins.  Ironic that these greens are more like medicine for our bodies.  And while it wasn't a huge hit, every one ate all their greens without any complaint.  All I heard were comments as to the unusual flavors.  ...
