Then Came Brussels Sprouts


Yep, I really put them to the test this time. I got brave and gave 'em Brussels Sprouts. This may well have been one of the dumbest food ideas I have had in recent years. Steve really put on a show trying to convince the kids this was the best vegetable he has ever tasted. He even had me convinced.

We dissected a sprout to gain Ian's scientific interest. He thought it was cool, but not edible. Ainsley just said, "they are gross," and that was the end of it as far as she was concerned.

I loved the tiny cabbages when I was a kid; but I have to admit they are not in my top 10 veggies any longer. Maybe not even the top 20.

Oh, well. It was worth a shot.
