Log it in Doydum and a row of cabbages sprouts in today’s bed in front of Doy’s house.

Broccoli florets boiled or steamed until bright green and just tender, served as a side, tossed into pasta and grain bowls, or baked with cheese. These numbers are for plain cooked broccoli with nothing added.

Olive oil, butter or a cheese sauce make the difference here, so log them as their own items.
