This looks like a wonderful Thanksgiving side. Think I need to give it a practice try to find out!http://www.tastingtable.com/entry_detail/national/18224/recipes_home/How_to_Make_Roasted_Brussels_Sprouts_with_Squash_Apples_and.htm

Paid $9 for a branch of brussel sprouts @ farmer's market. Trader Joes had them for $2.99.

How much fresher were the ones you got at Farmer's...maybe picked the night before?

I'm always amazed at how long the produce I buy from the growers lasts versus what I get at TJ's. Sometimes their produce only lasts a few days...I am not too impressed with their produce and only buy certain items like golden fingerling potatoes, the Dutch kind, and those brown Kumato tomatoes which they have in the winter.

To be honest, I could not tell a difference. And that disappointed me.

I have kept a stalk of brussels sprouts for a month, using what

I needed and they were always delicious and fresh. TJ's are great.

Really! We used the whole stalk in one meal. But then we're little piggies when it comes to

pan roasting them with clarified butter, then adding bacon and cheese and nuts and balsamic glaze.

Oh man, now I want that dish.

This stalk was easily 2 feet long and chock full of sprouts.

The neat thing was also that that there were big and tiny ones to use as I wanted. And when I say a month--we could have them once a week. It sort of amazed me. I also had an extra fridge to keep them in.
