Bad Day

I'm too sensitive.
It's amazing to me how much power I give to one small incident.  I could be having a great day, someone poops on it, and then the rest of the day is ruined.
How dumb is that?

That was my day. After having a bad morning, I didn't want to make anything.  Yesterday I made a sale on Etsy after the item was listed for a day. I was flying high! Today, I questioned everything.
I hate days like this.

and I'm getting a cold.

*whine*

Hope tomorrow is better.

In the words of my friend Ethan....
I'm out, sprouts!

Day 1- why am I doing this?

So the other day I asked myself and my faithful friends on Facebook if I should write a blog.
Most agreed...but only for Brussels Sprouts recipes and humor.
I can deliver on the Brussels Sprouts recipe but the humor may be a stretch at times.

So tonight I took the plunge...obviously.

So to start things off right I'll share my tried and true favorite Brussels Sprouts recipe (I can't abbreviate BS cuz that would be weird:  "my favorite BS recipe"?)

Trim brussels sprouts and cut in half (For the sprout virgins, trim off the stem, and peel a few leaves to reveal the clean pretty leaves inside)
Place sprouts in pan and add about 1-2 T of unsalted butter and veggie broth (or chicken), about 1 cup. The broth should reach about 1/2 way up the sprouts.
Crank up the heat to high, wait till in boils, put a lid on it and turn down to medium.  Cook until tender. A sharp knife should be able to pierce the sprout easily.
Now for the fun part....
Take off the lid and crank up the heat to high. Do not walk away. The broth/butter liquid will cook off and this is the time to quickly toss the sprouts so they don't burn. The sprouts are ready to eat when they're slightly browned (or really browned like I like 'em)
ENJOY! 

and now I'll sign off and think about what I could possibly write about in a blog...

Later Taters!
