i should've gotten some broccoli at the store today! ok, i'll have to go get it tomorrow and make this tomorrow night, just for T. even though i won't eat it, he'll still appreciate the effort.
Whoa - I know this is way later than this post, but I just wanted to mention that I've made this for Marc at least 20 times since we've been married and HE LOVES IT! I think I must have found it on your blog and tried it, but anyhow, it's a BIG hit in our house. ;) Thanks, Chrissi!
