^^^ I can't unsee the dinosaur now 
My wife absolutely loves broccoli, but hates the stalks. I absolutely hate wasting perfectly good food, so I have to get creative with how I use the large amounts of "off" pieces sometimes.
Tonight that resulted in some weird amalgam of a dish that was kind of burrito bowl-ish, kind of just random Mexican things on a plate. Charred broccoli stalk with rice, beans, chevre, jalapeno, and baby oregano and cilantro from our deck garden. Real tasty!
