, and include the four major food groups. Those food groups being 1) meat, 2) bread, 3) vegetables and 4) alcohol. My roommates don't get enough veggies.
Oh sure, at first my roommates turned up their nose at the sight of the Brussels sprouts. But afterwards all three of them pronounced my side dish to be: "okay," which i will translate as a high compliment.
The $5 bottle of chianti was indeed a hit, though.

So, how did you like the show?

If your roommates said that the Brussels sprouts were ok, your mustard-horseradish cream sauce must be strong enough to take paint off walls.

I love $5 chianti. But those Brussel Sprouts -- girl, you are demented. I don't understand why anyone would consume them voluntarily, even after smothering them in sauce.

Brussel Sprouts... Yummm... I love Brussel Sprouts. But hardly ever eat them as the rest of my family can't stand them.
If you get a second, e-mail me the horseradish sauce receipe. Sounds great.
And to close... When isn't $5 Chianti a hit?

Oh, gross. You did *NOT* serve your roommates Brussels sprouts, did you? That is sooo disgusting.
What's next? Liver? Sweetbreads? Calves brains? Coors?

I can't think of chianti without thinking of fava beans.

i got the recipe out of Betty Crocker but made my own changes to make it non fat.
First steam or boil the brussels sprouts for ten minutes.
Spray Pam on a non stick skillet, brown a quarter of chopped onion lightly.
in a mixing bowl mix a tblsp of stone ground mustard, a tblsp of horseradish, a half cup of soy milk, a clove of minced garlic, two tblsps of flour a couple of pinches of pepper and a pinch of salt. Mix until the flour's not lumpy.
Then pour the mix into the skillet and simmer until thickened. You can either pour the sauce over the cooked brussels sprouts or dump the sprouts into the sauce, toss and serve.

Changing the subject--check your roster. Your TE is out for the next game.
I'd tell Jim two of his players are out and a third has a bye this week, but he's a Marthat Stewart fan.

Gabbiano is always a good choice, moving up their ranks a few dollars doesn't hurt either, but I have a hard time telling $40 Chianti from $14 - Chianti's supposed to be cheap anyhow, that's its nature.

Where'd you get Gabbiano for $5? I think I paid eight or nine bucks the last time I went to the local discount wine warehouse. Not only did I enjoy the wine, but my kids like the knight on the front of the bottle.

Bel Air market. For $5.99, actually. I saw it was over $10 or $11 at Albertson's recently, so that's a pretty good deal.

Hmm. I thought things were more expensive in California, but I double-checked here in my local Safeway in Virginia, and it's $9.49. Lucky girl!
