Are you a fan of Brussels Sprouts?  Even if you're NOT, I urge you to give this Chef AJ recipe a try.  It changed my whole outlook on this cruciferous vegetable which has vitamins, fiber and cancer-fighting phytochemicals.

I took a shortcut by using 'steamer' bags of Brussels sprouts rather than boiling raw ones. Once cooked in the steamer bag, I did cut them in half to make them bite size.  Then I threw them in a sauce pan with the braised onions (I didn't have shallots on hand) and the sauce, which thickened nicely to a delicious glaze.

A man walked into the doctor's office with a tomato on his nose and a carrot in one ear.  "Doctor", he asked, "what's wrong with me?"  That's easy, the doc replied - you're not eating right.

OK, enough of that.
