It certainly didn't have such an impact when I saw it as a kid! I love Lt. Dan's story arc so very much. I could talk about that movie a LOT more but it's late and I shouldn't be on the computer at this hour!)Alannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04895073619356841356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12201154.post-46404706365701447572022-07-23T21:57:07.408-06:002022-07-23T21:57:07.408-06:00I never had yellow squash and zucchini until some ...I never had yellow squash and zucchini until some time when I was at BYU and a bishop had invited a bunch of us over for Sunday dinner and it was served-- sauteed in butter and SO DELICIOUS. I had no idea such wonders existed (I mostly remember my mom serving us canned vegetables and canned fruit, which seems really sad and gross now, although I certainly didn't think so at the time; isn't it weird how we get judgy of our parents' food choices?). So I DO love that stuff. And the one year I tried to garden they didn't grow for me, which pretty much confirmed for me how useless I am at gardening because those are basically weeds to everyone else!<br /><br />And I love tomatoes on anything-- I'm the weirdo who will request extra tomatoes at a restaurant or ask that they be added to a dish just because. And steamed broccoli mixed with a little butter and soy sauce! Yum. Cucumbers are... fine. I like corn, but I always feel like it isn't really a vegetable and I'm cheating if I use it as a side.<br /><br />I have very strong feelings about these things. As do you!Alannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04895073619356841356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12201154.post-83690401018114082862022-07-20T20:54:25.153-06:002022-07-20T20:54:25.153-06:00Ha!

I did mention today I have no summer vegetables to compare to. Like, I guess tomatoes? Cucumbers, corn, sure sure. It just doesn’t ignite me. And let’s talk about the yellow squash and zucchini that everyone seems to grow and NO ONE actually likes. Explain it to me. <br /><br />Enjoy the movie! It has been a minute for me. I do remember some scenes that were seared into my impressionable teenaged brain. Good memories… Jennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12201154.post-62485909499456998712022-07-20T19:15:23.806-06:002022-07-20T19:15:23.806-06:00Pitting them against each other! {Laugh snort}
An...Pitting them against each other! {Laugh snort}<br /><br />And I am literally watching <i>Forrest Gump</i> with my daughter right now. She left to take care of the neighbor's dogs, so I was checking my feedly while the movie is paused. (I've had to mute and fast forward a bit. I know I saw that movie when it came out, but yikes!)<br /><br />So don't hate me, but I really struggle with fruit. I do enjoy a really good watermelon, and I force myself to eat the other stuff. The goal is to at least eat one apple a day. But I'll take vegetables roasted in butter over fruit any day. It's so unhealthy. (I did eat a really good plum the other day. And I grabbed a box of peaches from Costco last month. I try!)<br /><br />Having said that, what's really fabulous is watermelon salad, with arugula and goat cheese, a little olive oil and salt and pepper. So delicious. If you haven't ever tried it, now you can add it to your list!Alannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04895073619356841356noreply@blogger.com
