I told everyone that I was making BRUSSEL SPROUTS. No one in the family really knew what I was talking about...hmmm, what does that say? For starters, they didn't turn out quite like the picture. I also added A LOT more salt than the recipe suggested. The first one I tasted, was OK. Maybe even good. So I ate a few more. I paid S fifty cents to eat one. Hubby ate a couple. R refused to eat any. No one was eating them so I ate some more. Hubby commented that these "must be really healthy...". I ate a few more since he's probably right, they must be really healthy. Near the end, I hit a "need to puke" threshold. All of us ended up thinking they were disgusting. We had to eat leftover Halloween candy in order to feel better. I'm serious. Sorry to all you brussel spout lovers.Sunday, November 16, 2008
Brussel Sprout Observations
I saw this recipe for roasted brussel sprouts in a parenting magazine. I thought it sounded really good. (In retrospect, I might have been really hungry at the time I was reading the magazine.) The story that follows is what happened when I served these "yummy treats."

Ewww, no matter how people try to convince me that they are good, I do not enjoy brussel sprouts, I think they taste like feet! Great story...I might have to go eat some candy to feel better.
I am actually one who likes these veggies! But I like my cooked (steamed or boiled) until they are soft (not mushy though) and then I add generous amounts of butter and salt. Cute blog by the way!
