Dinner Experiment 1

First, let's introduce (or remind of) the steps of the scienitific method:

observation

predicted result

So, I decided to give new food a try: Vegetables.

In my most recent Bountiful Basket, I received a head of lettuce, spinach, carrots, squash, yams, jerusalem artichokes (Ya, I had to look them up), among other things. So, rather than give them to someone who would LOVE them, I decided to try to cook them and eat them.

Here's Dinner via the Scientific Method:

Observation: I have vegetables that need to be eaten.

Question: If I cook vegetables, will my family eat them?

Hypothesis: Vegetables taste good when they are cooked (or prepared to be eaten)

Prediction: If this hypothesis is correct,

Experiment: And I cook the vegetables,

Predicted Result: My family will eat them (and possible like them)

Actual Result: Vegetables were cooked into a soup (I followed a recipe) and breadsticks were prepared, we all tasted the soup, and we ALL decided to....

Hit the drive thru!

Conclusion A: Don't buy anymore vegetables.

Conclusion B: Just try ONE new veggie at a time.

side note - the soup did NOT go to waste. For FHE we dropped it by a few people in the ward we knew would appreciate the veggies it contained.

We will try again....another day.
