Anyone else out there just enjoy choosing, washing, cutting, dicing, whatever, vegetables?!
I hated peeling potatoes and carrots for ten when I was a kid, but now I find a quiet sort of pleasure in vegetables...who knew?
Answers: Whether for salads or cooked, I just enjoy the simple task of prepping veggies!

Strangely enough I really enjoy prepping veggies, and meats .... I guess it relaxes me.
if u like cooking, u will like it too
I love to go to organic markets and pick out the best fruit and vegetables :)
BUT
I hate, hate, hate having to cut pumpkins and peel potatoes!
i have a hard time with vegetables
i was never a big fan, i'm better now, but still don't eat enought
Yeah, i must agree with you. Prepping veggies is kinda therapeutic in a strange way.
I completely understand. I take forever at the store because I pick each fresh green bean individually, look over and smell the fruit that I buy, and select the most perfect produce that I can find. My husband hates going with me, because I'll say something like, "Wow those nectarines have really nice color, look how uniform they all are..." He couldn't care less.
I find simple joy in effortless slicing. I strive to make every chop as accurate as the next, so each piece is the same size. I try to select the right cut for the right fruit/veggie to showcase its attributes. Crazy, I know...but I like things that are in season. I love big boquets of fresh herbs and stacks of bright lemons.
I cut the sides off of green apples around the core and then take each wedge and try to make the thinnest wafer like crescents that I possibly can.
You're not the only one. I enjoy the whole chopping process, except when I have to chop onions!!
Yep.
Weird, isn't it? It is the most basic of all food-prep, and the most time-consuming and hands-on. I kinda zone out and go meditative when I do that ... almost like ironing (?)
Gimme a great knife, a cutting board, and some raw veggies, and I'm a happy girl!
I really like just practicing my knife skills too. I find it relaxing, and it makes me happy when something is prepped nicely. I'm also newly single, and kinda lonely, so I could just be desperate for entertainment! :)
Yes I do. I have really grown into this housewife job!
If you enjoy cooking, the nyou should enjoy this part. The veggie choosing, washing, cutting, dicing, whatever......If I have the right utensils, like a really sharp chef's knife and a real wood thick chopping board, I'm happy cooking............
I love going to the supermarket and choose the right vegetables, then if they have some on sale, my mind goes starts to spin thinking what I can cook with them............
Yeah, I agree, prepping veggies is therapeutic. I enjoy it too. I don't get the frozen veggies when I'm making Hearty Beef 'N Vegetable Soup, cause I'd rather prep my own. lol
I have about 4 chopping boards and one really good 'n sharp chef's knife. Of course, I'd like to have a coupla more, but...... $$$
i thought i was the only one, lol. I have always loved doing it. i think bell peppers are my favorite. i've done this since i was 11 with my mom and now its just so relaxing.
