over cooked veggies

[Guest guest]

I was lukcy, my Mom grated everything raw or steamed

or stir fried them. No mushy veggies in our house.

My sister was terribly picky, I ate everything.

I remember if she wouldn't eat it cooked then my Mom

had better luck grating it or stir frying and she

would usually eat the veg. then.
