June 17, 2014: In honor of Eat Your Vegetables Day, perhaps I’ll get some Brussels sprouts. Which I always thought were disgusting, but then I learned that you should roast them in the oven instead of boiling them to death. Really, no green veggies should be boiled. That’s just torturing both the vegetables and yourself. It’s also International Violin Day today, which is different from plain old Violin Day (which falls in mid-December). This one celebrates the birthday of Igor Stravinsky back in 1882.
