Fancy Veggies aka Brussel Sprouts

I'm becoming addicted. In my quest to eat better I'm trying to introduce new veggies into my life and now I'm wondering where they've been this whole time. I think they are pretty, also. Here's how I make 'em:
Heat oven to 450 degrees.
Cut off brown base of sprout and then cut in half or quarters depending on size.
Put in bowl and toss with a small amount of olive oil, balsamic vinegar and honey.
Add salt and pepper and toss to cover. You don't need a lot of liquid or they'll just end up mushy.
Dump onto a cookie sheet. I line mine with foil. I hate doing dishes.
Cook for 20-30 minutes with a toss during halftime.

When they come out I like to squirt 'em with lemon juice and add some fresh parm.
Take a beano and inhale your fancy veggies.
Done.

Only if you let them...

Well, Hello there

I'm not really sure why I did this. Maybe it's because I need some sort of outlet. Maybe it's because I need a place to collect my thoughts; one that doesn't require paper that would most likely end up in a pile, forgotten.
As I kill time at work cruising the internets, I'm finding myself glued to OPB's (Other People's Blogs). Then it hit me to do my own. This makes sense, as I like to prioritize my time-wasting, and this seems like time-wasting well spent.
So, enjoy. Also, you don't have to agree with everything I say or post here, but if you don't and feel you'd like to tell me, be constructive, be nice, be well thought out, or go away.

So, welcome. I will be writing of such things as growing older, stupid people, puppies, music i like or don't like and why, food things, funny things, craft and design things, work, random acts of __________? and last but not least, me.
