Broccoli From Theresa Fuller
Hi, L.A. Thanks for having me as a guest on your blog.

I love broccoli. Easy. Healthy. And cooking broccoli each time affirms my belief that anything can become a feast.

But first a little story.

I did 2 years of domestic science in high school and if it had not been for camouflage, I would have failed. I was supposed to cook sausage rolls for the test. I knew I would burn them because I was new to ovens. Most Singaporean homes even today do not have ovens. Ovens were these mysterious objects that Europeans possessed or only the rich.

As expected, I burnt the sausage rolls. Not too badly though. Scorched sections here and there. But then I knew I would. And I was prepared.

On the day of the test, I brought a heap of parsley. I also made little hors d'oeuvre. I raided my Mum’s fridge for anything I could find to make them. The parsley hid the burnt bits of sausage rolls and the little things on toothpicks distracted the teacher.

I passed. Thankfully there was no taste test involved!
