Brussel Sprouts and Blueberries

Short and sweet for this entry!
-Blueberries - we've always liked. The bigger, the better! They're great!
-Brussel sprouts: Actually, we really liked these! We're eating them again tonight, actually! Funny story, though:
As we researched how to make these, I read about how you "can't overcook them." Sam also read online about how you "can't overcook them." Interestingly, my take and his take on this phrase were different. Sam thought it meant "you cannot possibly overcook them; cook them as long as you want." I read it as, "one must not let them cook too long." I was right after more research. Apparently, if you overcook them, they will let out a sulfurous smell - ick! It is for this very reason that most people who don't like brussel sprouts don't like them - they smell gross. So, we are very careful not to overcook them for fear of the sulfurous smell to push us away!

Coming up next: Cabbage and Cherries!
