How’s it going my homies?
How was your weekend?
Ours was busy, busy.
We attended our first Chinese American wedding…where the MC spoke Chinese and then graciously translated for us white people.
There was karaoke, food I’ve never seen before (jelly fish & shark fin soup) and bling.
It was a party my friends.
A par-tay!
Then sunday we made it to church on time.
And I know that doesn’t sound news worthy…but last week…due to day light savings time AND technical difficulties we were running 2 hrs behind.
We arrived for the last 5 minutes of church and then were dismissed.
Yes, we hung our heads in shame and made it to our car as fast as possible.
And then laughed.
After church we hung out with some friends…one of which I conned into helping me do some more bed painting.
I’m roping whoever I can into this project.
And now…I’d like to ask you all to take a moment and reconsider something.
Brussel sprouts.
Yep.
You might think you don’t like them
You might think they’re stinky, weird and difficult to choke down.
My friends…I think it’s time you give them another chance.
This is what I want you to do…
- chop and fry up some bacon
- shred some brussel sprouts
- keeping that bacon in the pan…drain 3/4 of the grease out into a bowl.
- add the shredded brussel sprouts to the pan
- add salt and pepper
- cook on med-high until they start to wilt
- if necessary add a little more of that bacon grease to the pan
- after the brussels have wilted a little, turn off the heat, put a lid on and let them steam in the pan for about 5-10 minutes
- eat and apologize to the poor things for hating them all these years
And yeah that picture of what I just told you to make doesn’t even look THAT appetizing.
And yeah, my husband is wearing a lemon-AID shirt (get it lemon-aid…ha!)
And yeah, we eat dinner with a bowl of sea salt at the table with us.
But whatever!
The point is that this is a great brussel sprouts recipe and you should try it.
Ok…I’m off to grab a cookie and watch some tv with my man.
Muah! (that was a kissing sound btw)
PS…I did feed my husband more than brussel sprouts.
Steak and carrot fries to be exact.
What can I say…he loves my sprouts and always wants seconds.

Yum, I love brussels sprouts that way too! I made them last week, used pancetta instead of bacon. Bacon is probably better!
I want that meal!!! Yummm.
By the way, your husband seems to be wasting away since you are feeding him brussel sprouts. My mother called me and asked me if he had lost weight! =)
