Veggie Love = Empty Plate

I love vegetables when I get to choose my own and cook them.

I like tomatoes raw. They are juicy and almost sweet.

And for cooking, the way like them is roasted vegetables.

The names what I like are cauliflower, onions, oil, and then vinegar and garlic.

Something that sounded like "agariss" – and it was green.

Oh, I remember: asparagus!

And when they cooked it the cauliflower smelled so good.

Like it was right from a garden. And the sun went on it.

I ate it and ate it. And now my plate is empty!
