  • Oh shit I love that song. I might go through his hits and see if there are more I like. My parents didn’t listen to that kind of music and by the mid to late 90s that style seemed old to my kid/preteen ears. I found one Springsteen song I liked over the years, The Ghost of Tom Joad, but never connected with the wider body of work.

    Apropos of nothing my thoughts on Mellencamp were always perfectly encapsulated by The Hold Steady’s lyric in Stevie Nix “…you remind me of Rod Stewart when he was young You’ve got passion and you think that you’re sexy and all the punks think that you’re dumb” but that’s just because I was an obnoxious young punk once upon a time. Thanks for the recommendation.







  • It’s medical advice because it came from a doctor in a professional setting when we were discussing how to get more iron in their diets since we don’t eat many fortified foods. Kale and broccoli are close enough nutritionally to be swapped if one is just looking for the vitamins and minerals. Lastly, It the longest I’ve ever continuously followed a recommendation and it has made my life way easier. That makes it the best advice I’ve gotten.


  • Many years ago my kids pediatrician recommended feeding the kids kale smoothies. I didn’t have any Kale at home so I cooked bunch of broccoli to mush and mixed it with bananas. Those kids eat half a pound of broccoli for breakfast just about every day now. They also eat it raw or crunchy cooked. Definitely the best medical advice I’ve ever gotten and the kids are used to a very simple and quick to make breakfast that keeps them full for hours.

    Tldr: Kids constantly surprise me and sometimes they like vegetables.
