Hey gang - so 2 brussels sprouts comments.First - our crazy springer spaniel, Puckster, evidently loves them. As heenjoyed several last night while DH & I were eating dinner. Andfortunately, I haven't noticed any bizarre or horrid odor effects.2nd - I did my little comparison test - and did not "x" the bases where thestems had been cut off, as I usually do. Cooked the same way besides that.The larger sprouts (some were pretty big) tasted fine - but the interior wasdefinitely too hard - a bit over crunchy.So, here's my thinking - if the sprouts are of the typically smaller size -say

Mom's kitchen is painted peach, so I've stitched several things for her with peaches on them.

At a rummage sale, I acquired (for a whole dollar!) a book of charts which includes such things as a huge head of cabbage (as in, large enough to use as a throw rug) and a basket which you can either stitch filled with flowers or filled with assorted veggies. I don't believe I've ever seen a chart for asparagus before! I was contemplating pulling out just the sparrow-grass portion and making a bookmark for Mom, because there is no way that I am stitching that whole big basket in her lifetime!

I did consider that if I re-do my kitchen like Cousin Ro's, with a built-in bench around the table, I might stitch the veggie basket as a pillow for the bench. But the money for that construction is a long way off. (Yes, Saturday's winning Lotto ticket was sold in Sacramento, but not to anyone I know.)
