I like brussel sprouts! I never knew - I thought that they were groady, since they always smelled and tasted like pungent, flaccid, over cooked little cabbages. Thank you iyindo and axo for the super seeekrut brussel sprout kung fu tip!

I went to the farmers market, bought half a pound, cooked them up with olive oil and salt and ate them all up - YUM! Can't wait to get more next week.

Also, it was great to see the two of them and show them my house and take them to my happy little Italian joint, even if I have discovered that a seasonal produce restaurants aren't quite as amazingly delectable in January.

Thanks for making the drive, guys. It was great to see you and get a huge dose of belly laughs.

I steam them and eat them with butter and pepper. Yum! I think the basic trick is just to not make glue.

Yay! Glad you liked them! And it was great to see you too! I had a great time last night and was even glowing because of it well into today. It helps that I had lavender shortbread deliciousness!

I am happy that you are so happy, and I am happy that we got to share your space for a little while. It was pretty darn cool.

We love you!

sorry I didn't get your call last night - I was in hot tub heaven and my phone was on silent.

Hope you guys had fun last night and have a safe drive back home.

They made me gag when I was a kid. What I discovered living on the commune is that they need to be FRESH to be yummy. Now I eat them but I have to grow them (easy) or the farmers market.

According to my friends, fresh and small is key with sprouts. I got mine from the farmers market and it was wonderful. I think I'll be having sprouts on Saturdays until they go out of season.

I love sprouts when I cook them for myself, unfortunately the Traditional British Way™ is to boil them for about a fortnight.

Yeay for new vegetable choices to like!

I never knew how to spell "groady" until today. This is why I enjoy reading the journals of my brilliant friends!
