So, I've never eat Brussels Sprouts before, but the latest article on Cooking for Engineers convinced me to try them.
Why are these considered bad again? OMG so good!
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Because they taste like ass and smell worse?

What is even happening?
{{{Raq}}} You two will find your way. There's no right way to do it, either. There are lots of right (or as Hec is fond of saying, and as I'm in perfect agreement with "good enough") ways. The important thing is to find a right way that is right for all three of you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Someone's not a supertaster.

Overcooked, sure. Smell like sulfur. Most cabbages taste/smell quite noxious when overcooked.
Cooked correctly, they are almost odorless unless you put them right under your nose (at which point they have a kind of nutty smell that reminds me of other cabbages. I quite like it.) and they taste a little nutty and a litttle bitter in a way I quite like.
I guess i could see not liking them, too. So whatevs. But I don't think they taste bad enough to be the Most Hated Vegetable.

If I only had a brain...
I was talking to a friend last week about what we regretted about our forties. We agreed that we missed perky breasts. (I always thought non-perky breasts were only for the childbearing women, but I was wrong.)
So, bitches? FLAUNT 'EM WHILE YOU GOT 'EM. Wear a tube top today! If not for yourselves, for me!
Thank you.

Thrive to spite them
I like brussel sprouts roasted in the oven.

Try being forcefed them every Sunday at your grandparents growing up. There's years of resentment going in to them being my Most Hated Vegetable. Actually, it wasn't even forcefeeding, because I was polite enough not to make a scene. I just swallowed them more or less whole.
It's the bitterness I can't take, I think. Same with cabbage and broccoli.

I went to the reunion. Pictures will be up soonish, including a shot of my best friend and....Jared the Subway guy. I had no idea he was a classmate of mine, but apparently so. It was a very odd evening.
