Brussels Sprouts

(This is only a third of the Stem I bought)

I was in good old Trader Joe's on Sunday and I saw this stem of Brussels sprouts. all I could think about was that most people claim that Brussels sprouts are gross, but lately I've heard that they can be quite tasty in garlic lemon butterness. I decided to give them a try. I cut the stem into three parts, so there will be three days of Brussels experiments.

The first experiment was to steam them and then pour the butter garlicness on top when they were done. I had know idea when done was.


Final product: It was a little over done. The Brussels sprouts were mushy.
So we shall see what we come up with next time. Oh and the taste wasn't too bad.

Blue stew

So today my husband said he would be home for dinner before his class. I had the great idea of making a stew with black beans, chicken, potatoes and onions. It sounds like it would all work out, but I put everything in this thing.

The beans weren't done cooking and they made everything blue.

My husband was a champ and ate all of it.
