Never ever as much as guns n roses, but they rock hard nonetheless.

Luke9583 · 11-16-2004, 11:15 AM

hahaha, poison had 2 decent songs. The rest, I don't think they could hear themselves palying through all the hair.

I want action
Nothin but a good time
Unskinny bop
SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN (holy crap -- great song!)
Your mamma don't dance
Every rose has its thorn (another awesome song)
Fallen Angel
Talk Dirty to me

That's more than TWO, and they're more than just "decent".

Luke9583 · 11-16-2004, 11:23 AM

Yo mama don't dance! LOL good one actually.

Eh, eh! Isn't it? Seriously. This music takes me back. Not too far back but far back enough where I can almost smell the Elio's pizza at the skating rink and smell the Love's Baby Soft I used to wear like it was going out of style.

I tried. I really did. But it lasted oh... what, like, two minutes as a serious journal? hahaha!

GoalGetter · 11-16-2004, 12:33 PM

Well, as you all might read on here periodically, I am fairly new to veggies. I don't even know how to cook most of them, or what parts I'm supposed to eat and what parts I'm supposed to throw out for others! Every week or every other week, i buy a veggie I've never tried, and make it a point to cook it and eat it and MAKE MYSELF at least tolerate it. This week, I just bought:

Spaghetti squash (after reading about it on some other thread here)
Fresh green beans
Brussel Sprouts
Broccoli (yes, a trusty backup in case i don't like the other three)

The spaghetti squash seems to be self-explanatory. I think i can handle that. And Andrea gave me a recipe using green beans that I'm gonna modify a bit and try out as well.

But brussel sprouts?

If anyone can tell me wtf to do with brussel sprouts, that would be great. Something extra clean, so please don't go suggesting cream sauces, or dairy, or soy sauce, or salt or rich salad dressings or anything like that!

My options include onion, garlic, olive oil, hazelnut oil, sesame oil, cooking spray and some of my salt-free seasonings. What can a girl do with those items and some brussel sprouts?

Oh and stupid question: How do you EAT a brussel sprout?? Honestly. Don't laugh at me. I have no idea.

Very secretively

I've never had them either.

Velvet · 11-16-2004, 12:37 PM

ha ha

I LOVE BS

Cut the stems off them..and cut an X along the bottom of each sprout (at the stem) so that they will cook faster..nuke for 3 mins with a tad of water (covered with saran wrap)..then throw them in the frying pan with a little oil, slices of onion and a big whack of garlic and saute until soft

YUMM

ncgirl21 · 11-16-2004, 12:38 PM

I personally HATE brussel sprouts!! I would rather pull out my own hair!!

But, here's a page full or recipes with brussel sprouts, you'll just have to modify them probably:

NEVER BOIL YOUR VEGGIES..ha ha, you'll lose your nutrients, even nuking is iffy..but as long as you only add a tad of water..you are ok...otherwise steam them...you can get a metal thingy to put over a pot for steaming...or you can buy a rice cooker/steamer (this is what I use..you should see my kitchen, you'd be in you glory Ivy! I got it all girl...rotisserie will be under my tree from Santa this year too...

totally doable: BS with Balsamic Vinegar minus the butter and salt for me, of course.

There's one with hazelnuts too, but it also has bacon, butter and salt.

Thanks, Andy!

Oh man, I'm moving in with YOU!!!! Yeah i have a ricecooker/steamer. And i occasionally borrow my mom's rotisserie but it's a pain in the ass to transport. hahahaha! So i use it at her house instead.

And by boiling i actually meant STEAMING and i can't believe i wrote BOIL TWICE! hahahaha!

How do you steam your veggies Vel? I wonder if I do this without realising it

.

You can make "mashed potatoes" with cauliflower. And you can make cauliflower popcorn.

ncgirl21 · 11-16-2004, 01:11 PM

Here's one for carrots:

Carrot Souffle

1 lb. bag baby carrots
4 egg whites
1.5 T. smart balance spread
1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt
1 tsp. baking powder
1/3 cup splenda

Steam carrots until soft. Place all ingredients in food processor and blend until smooth. Pour in 1 quart round glass baking dish sprayed w/ cooking spray. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. 4 servings...120 calories per serving
