We all had things we hated to eat when we were younger. Somebody needed to call the paramedics if I may have accidentally ingested a tomato. Now I eat garden fresh ones like an apple (both are considered fruits by the way). Asparagus, spinach, brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes and the like would throw me into a severe state of anxiety if I had to partake in a meal that included them. I can even recall sitting at the dinner table with wilting, cold cooked carrots for over an hour after everybody else had finished because I wasn't allowed to leave until I tried them. But, as in all things, we grow up and mature and so does the palate. I found this recipe a couple weeks ago for Spinach and Artichoke Stuffed Portobellos on dessertfortwo.com and couldn't wait to try it. I was intimidated at first, but it was super easy and really fun. They are fairly large so one was more than enough for me alone. Coupled with a glass of stout and I couldn't have asked for a better lunch on a very cold and wintry day.
Pretty close to perfect I think.
