Just wondering.....

Hee! I was testing to prove that it really *does* taste like brussels
sprouts, wasn't I? Gotta say, the fertiliser won the taste test!

Fair dink, you are a caution, Elizabeth! I've written all this down
and
have repeated it several times in the hope it sticks. I never heard
of
'choute'! I think I'll stay away from Bruxelles, even in jest. It's
safer that way. ;-

And speakin' of those blasted sprouts (sounds like 'blast-ended
skrewts'
for those of the Harry Potter persuasion), my DD *loves* them! I
can't
believe this! DH and DS and I find they taste like undiluted sewage
but
DD had them at a friend's place and reckons they're great. I keep a
little bag of frozen ones just for her and she cooks them herself (I
can't stand the stench). Bleargh! Kid's not *normal*!

I love veggies and will eat just about anything, but not brussels
sprouts (gonna call 'em blast-ended skrewts from now on)!

I find the problem with brussel sprouts is that most people over cook
them. The trick to get them to cook quickly and not go to gray mush
is
to cut an X in the base, so the hard end cooks as quickly as the rest
of
the sprout. Serve with a little butter and lemon juice - superb. Hmmm
- roast beef, garlic mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts - I may just
have
figured out what I want to cook for Sunday dinner.

Ut oh, Marg. You'll start the sprout wars - to X or not to X - that is
the
queston. I have to agree with Sheena, IIRC, depending on size, they
can
be
done without the X - but generally, I do the X if they're biggish
sprouts.
Recently did the roasting on a sheet pan with some olive oil and
seasoning
-high heat in oven - very good.

MMMM- I'm going to have to try that method - sounds wonderful.

MargW

I love sprouts too, never bother with the"X". Only lightly boiled
anyway -
we like them crunchy. My ex S.I.L always refers to them as "Fart
capsules".

Pat

'Blast-ended skrewts' or 'little pills of poison'. They taste
*disgusting* - hasn't any of you noticed that small factor? You can pile
white sauce or gravy or anything you like on them - they still taste
like liquid fertiliser! AND the aftertaste remains for hours. 'Fart
capsules' isn't far wrong, either. You can't imagine what it's like to
go into DD's room after she's eaten the filthy little things!

Funny how the duvet always feels lighter after eating sprouts!

French I can handle. Don't know about Austrailian. Will someone tell
me if this is a compliment? LOL!

Elizabeth


Of course, silly! If I wanted to *not* compliment you, I'd've called you
a galah. But then... even 'galah' can be complimentary if said with the
proper inflection.

*snicker* and I'd still have had to ask for a translation! *giggle*

Elizabeth (I'm a caution. so there!)

An old school friend of ours started doing her hair that way about 25 years
ago (prior to that she had a very attractive bob which really suited her).
Most of us were of the opinion that the new hairstyle was just a cheap
"Face lift".

This was borne out the other week when one of our old friends called on her
early in the morning when both her hair (and her face) hadn't yet been
tightened up for the day, resulting in the passable imitation of a
bloodhound!


ROTFLMBO!!! I just rec'd this in my email:

A woman visited her plastic surgeon who told her about a new procedure
called 'The Knob,' where a small knob is placed at the top of the
woman's head and could be turned to tighten up her skin and produce
the effect of a brand new facelift. Of course, the woman wanted ...
'The Knob.'

Over the course of the years, the woman tightened the knob, and the
effects were wonderful, the woman remained young looking and vibrant.

After fifteen years, the woman returned to the surgeon with two
problems. 'All these years, everything has been working just fine.
I've had to turn the knob many times and I've always loved the
results. But now I've developed two annoying problems: First, I have
these terrible bags under my eyes and the knob won't get rid of
them.'

The doctor looked at her closely and said, 'Those aren't bags, those
are your boobs.'

She said, 'Well, I guess there's no point in asking about the
goatee....
