we tried roasting brussel sprouts last Christmas. We did not find them to be really any better I'm afraid.
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

My mom has a recipe for roasted Brussels sprouts that involves fig jam, for real. It's not bad, but I'm not a huge fan of mixing savory and sweet. Everyone at Thanksgiving loved it, though.

Slice in half. Cook them in a pan with a bit of butter and/or olive oil + salt. Toss while cooking, stop when they are just cooked and the bottoms are lightly browned. Do not cook until squishy.
Only way to go.

So, Tep: my 71 tabs are a lot of Cap fic I intend to read, a buttload of fail-fandomanon threads, historic research info re: houses my husband's grandmother lived in as a kid, expat threads on Macau for fic research purposes, Facebook, here, and right now, that's about it.
I only let mobile routinely add up like this. It has been months since I had fewer than 60 tabs on there.

I saw this done the other day with pancetta and then tossed in a balsamic reduction, and I really want to try it.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
