[recipe] Broccoli In Herbed Butter

[Guest guest]

This is a great way to prepare cooked broccoli.

The addition of a little lemon juice really seems to

take some of the " stink " out of the brocc; i don't mind

the smell of cooked broccoli, but my family always

wrinkles their noses up at it.

Among creatures some lead and some follow.

Some blow hot and some blow cold.

Some are strong and some are weak.

Some may break and some may fall.

Therefore the sage discards the extremes,

the extravagant, and the excessive.
