We have fallen deeply into the rut of eating food that suits my 94 year old father in law and it is boring me rigid.

I had never had brussel sprouts until I met my husband, a true Dutchman who loved vegetables well-cooked. In my estimation, overcooked. A few months ago two Brit friends of mine raved over how much they liked sprouts, so now I follow their advice and cook them lightly with some garlic and green onion. Really delicious.Ginniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12956873259908320109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240778511347611810.post-45551851819972040222013-01-11T04:15:02.444-08:002013-01-11T04:15:02.444-08:00We have a steam-oven and B. sprouts have never bee...We have a steam-oven and B. sprouts have never been tastier.

Until I met my husband. When he makes them, they are delicious!<br /><br />Oddly, it was the same with egg salad. I wouldn't even sit at the same lunch table in grade school with anyone who brought an egg salad sandwich for lunch. Hubby came along and *whammo* - delicious egg salad!<br /><br />It must be love.Marchelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201825708442679157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240778511347611810.post-42531477865331593542013-01-09T12:53:58.089-08:002013-01-09T12:53:58.089-08:00We have found that chopped sprouts seem to melt aw...We have found that chopped sprouts seem to melt away in vegetable soup.
