alright, this is quite serious....to cook brussels sprouts, peel off the outer leaves, score the bottoms with an X...then saute in butter. (oh God please don't bump that thread!!)

Quite serious, yes....... so scoring with a K is unacceptable?

Hmm, new scoring system?

Giving up shrimp.......

easy choice since I'm allergic to them.

Brussel sprouts are fantastic. I grow them in my garden every year. Nothin' like fresh picked!

Lol! One would be a Brussels Sprout! hehehe :wah:

or should that be Brussel Sprout???

The question is...do sprouts really come from Brussels??? :sneaky:

Personally, I always give up smoking!

For Lent, Advent, whatever....I always give up smoking.

The fact that I don't smoke has really got nothing to do with it!

I don't do it when I say I won't....and besides which...it's the thought that counts! hehehe :wah:
