Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Aw, Sara used to streak through the house after her bath, saying, "Naked baby! Naked baby!" Good times.

Heh! Emmett yelled "Nudie Boy!" whilst triumphantly streaking after bath.

Kate P, tell me how to roast brussels sprouts like I'm 5.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I roasted brussel sprouts last night!

I take the brussel sprouts, wash them, cut off anything left of the stems, cut them in half if they're big enough, put them in a pan, pour way too much olive oil over them, mix them so that everything is coated in oil, add salt and pepper.

I cook them at 400° for 40 minutes, and make a vague attempt to flip the sprouts over halfway through.

Afterwards, I add a little more salt, and then eat. Yum.

Our wings are not tired.

I do the same as Tom, but sometimes I will toss some maple syrup or lemon juice in there too. So yummy!

Thank you, Mr. Scola! We all love brussels sprouts (typically steamed from frozen), so I'ma try this. Sounds delish and easy.

Oooh! They're gorgeous. I have missed your shoe posts so much.

Teppy, I'm always impressed that you make real food at lunch time. I never have the energy to do that. Thank goodness for cheese sticks and veggie packets for ltc.

It's pouring rain, and I'm soaked because the rain doesn't make ltc move any faster.

I just hit my steps for the day and it's not even 1 yet. No wonder I'm tired on the days ltc goes to school.

I don't do that for every lunch. I almost always have turkey/swiss/lettuce rolled up in a corn tortilla, and some cheese cubes. I've been trying to get more veggies, so sometimes I microwave a Green Giant frozen veggie thing, or have soup. But on days when I have time and spoons, I've been trying to roast up some Brussels sprouts. (Also, Tim doesn't care for Brussels sprouts, so if I want to eat them, it's easier to make them for lunch.)

P.S. I did make them for lunch today and they were super tasty with some bacon bits crumbled on top.
