The Broccoli

I think one should consider to evaluate ones sense of fascination radar, when exclaiming "YES!" upon the fact that there is a discount on fresh broccoli. I felt like beating myself up for doing that, but still I have to point out that broccoli is an underestimated vegetable. Not so much cabbage like... uh... cabbage, and so much more healthy than the rather meaningless iceberg lettuce. That is why I -despite the reluctant feeling over my reaction- went to the specific store and bought two broccolis(?), and cooking one of them instantly while putting the other one in the freezer. Besides, I read that if all broccoli that is purchased in this country would be cultivated here, the greenhouse effect would be reduced by 50 %. That is because the broccoli is transported half around the world before it ends up on my plate. Also, the cultivation costs would double, a price I think is fair to pay actually. Anyway, the other day I put the frozen broccoli in my fridge causing it to defrost and making my fridge smell like something died there. It instantly became less popular.
