1. Even if you only eat one, they're still plural.
2. I feel like a big happy giant eating a field of cabbages.
Anyway, I never blog about brussels sprouts because 99.9% of the time, I just boil the frozen sprouts, drop a dollop of butter on them, and eat it. Would you believe that before today, I've actually never had a fresh sprout? They were on sale today (don't think they're local at this time of year, though...) and I bought a stalk.
Look at the Christmas colors! Red house, green sprouts. It's not terribly warm out, but 50 and sunny is nothing to scoff at.
While at Trader Joe's (actually the reason I went there in the first place) I bought some bottles of wine. Tavo got this great new "CorkPop" for Christmas and I was curious.

I took a very excellent video that will define my career as a cinematographer...or not :P
Here is what it looks like in a nice, still photo.
and you just unscrew and the cork is out. Awesome!
Back to the brussels--I made a quick marinade of "spicy mustard" (pretty much any kind will do here) and rice vinegar. I chose rice because it tends to have a bit of sweetness--I'm sure you could sub a different type with equally good results. Salt and pepper, too.
Rinse, halve, and toss in marinade.
Roast in 400F oven for 18-20 minutes, flip, and roast for another 7 minutes or so.
I drizzled some extra marinade on top. Great little side dish, but needs to be served right away when they're hot.
Happy New Year!

nice sprouts - cool wine thing and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Yummy sprout. That cork popper thing looks a bit scary at first glance. Like on of those sci-fi gadgets. hahaha...But it does look cool and safer to use than the traditional corkscrew.
Happy New Year!!!
I've never had brussel spourts, but I would eat them if I could feel like a big happy giant.
That's a new way of serving sprouts! Sprouts is a Christmas vegetable here in Norway, loved or hated!
Have a Happy New Year!!
I saw the Jolly Green Giant statue in Blue Earth, Minn once... and that's the nicest thing I have to say about Brussel Sprouts! Happy New Year, you two!
