This is one of the new ways that parents can sneak vegetables to their kids! They present the vegetables in a "candy" form, and then tell the kids that it really does "taste good"! :-D
(Well, actually, as an adult now, I really do like veggies! But yeah, for some reason as a kid, I didn't so much. I don't know what it is about kids and not liking veggies!)
Mmmm, it depends on the situation. With carrots, for example, if raw, then I want them with a dip like ranch dressing. But without that, then they're better steamed or boiled and then buttered and salted.
Same with broccoli and cauliflower.
And in general, I love the buttered and salted steamed or boiled better than the raw veggie tray with dressing (as long as the veggies weren't *over*-cooked.
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

So very off topic, but I'd say don't cook them. Many taste better and are healthier raw. Veggie tray FTW!

I notice that the chocolate is not in quotes and is therefore real. That's the main thing, after all... who cares about candy? :)
