A New Experiment

Dear Friends,

For all of you that have followed my cooking chronicles for the last four years: I appreciate your perseverance and devotion. Unfortunately, I have decided that maintaining two blogs is unfair to all of you since it means that I don't post often on either. So, I have decided to attempt to remedy this situation by merging them. As of today, you can find all the posts from this blog on my other blog. And all my future adventures in cooking will be found there as well. I'd encourage you to hop on over and then you can read not only about my adventures in cooking but also about my adventures in grad school, my adventures on the east coast, and anything else I can think of (and find the energy to write about). I hope you enjoy this new experiment in my attempt to be a blogger.

Love always,

Me

Brussel Sprouts with Roasted Grapes

So a while back I saw this recipe on Two Kitchen Promenade that looked pretty interesting. Brussel sprouts are one of those foods that have a reputation for being pretty awful. In fact, until I made this recipe I had never ever had a brussel sprout before. I think the only reason I was brave enough to try them was because I have known 3 or 4 people in the recent past who think brussel sprouts are pretty amazing.

Unfortunately for me green grapes were what was on sale so my dish didn't have the same color appeal that this one had, but c'est la vie. I will say that brussel sprouts are pretty delicious. I'm not sure how they ended up with such a terrible reputation, but I'm glad that they are coming back in style. One thing I will say though, is that they are much better fresh; they don't reheat well at all--actually, it's mostly the grapes that don't reheat well. Next time grapes (and brussel sprouts) go on sale I will definitely be making this one again.
