What's on your Wednesday Menu?

I was worried that paper towels would be where I wen awry, because the only ones left were industrial looking ones in a cardboard box that were two inches shorter than normal towels, but she was fine with those.

She claims that Scott's are as thin as the ones In public restrooms, but I doubt that.

She is probably correct! I have bought them for years due to a son who used so much he would jam the toilet with thicker ones and also having a septic system.

The shame of it how can you switch? Red labeled Charmin is a must for me.

• 1 pounds Brussels sprouts
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• ½ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
• 4 Tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• Salt to taste

Preheat oven to 400 F.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil, add the Brussels sprouts and cook for two minutes. Drain well and place the Brussels sprouts in a large bowl.

Add the minced garlic, cayenne pepper and olive oil and gently toss to coat. Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a baking pan and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 15-20 minutes, shaking pan occasionally, until sprouts are quite brown and crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.

Adjust the taste with more salt if necessary, drizzle with lemon juice, toss to combine and serve.

Sheila,

Those sound delish! I am going to try them!

And if you don't like lemon, use balsamic vinegar or the glaze vinegar! So delicious!

I have an apple balsamic vinegar that my cousin brought home with her from a trip to Italy. It is delish sprinkled over roasted brussels. I roast them until almost burnt. They're delicious.

Ohh,that sounds delicious

Aldi find: I made them last Thursday and it took 10 minutes and they were great. Brussel Sprouts with balsamic glazed bacon.

I make a super simple but seriously delicious roasted Brussel sprout dish- wash and cut off ends of fresh sprouts , spray oil pan, preheat oven 350 , put about a tablespoon of sesame oil in a bowl and roll the sprouts in it, covering the outside of them all.

You don't need any more oil- you may have some left over even. Sprinkle VERY liberally with Greek seasoning ( Garlic, salt, pepper, oregano) on all sides .

Bake turning once or twice until ready .

Try this pre - Thanksgiving as a yummy fall comfort food snack .. a good change from popcorn!

Aquarium still no water three days later ... worked two hours last nite fixed all the plumbing and a water test showed a damnable LEAK . Seller must've cheated somehow cuz this didn't happen overnite GRRR . He also stole (and sold separately) the most valuable fish ... UGH these Florida sleazebags ! And this guy's supposedly an ER doctor ..!

Big Dog Mastiff is HAPPENING !!!!! Gonna go visit it today. Its not as perfect a bike as the yellow submarine ...but its exactly the bike I want and reasonably priced ( I'm sure I'll end up paying for it somehow - NOT thru sex lol..).

Its got some wear and tiny dings on it but its metallic blues ( my favorite color ) , no brand logo ( I won't wear anyones name on me but my own) and all elegant lines and is located close to me so I don't have to risk life and limb driving it hours home in dangerous highway traffic without adequate skillz. YAY !!!! I'm SO Excited !!!!

This is a true .. how do you say it ... non weight related WLS achievement for me ... I was always SO shy about being viewed from the side because I always had a BELLY .

And I always WANTED a bike and/or a door removable Jeep ... they looked like so much fun ...

So Much later in life I finally get to act like a teenager lol!

Last nites dinner was FF lasagna , 2 ice milk sandwiches , and some homemade hot cocoa sf ff

L- Maybe leftover fajitas with 'rents

D- TBD -craving Whole Foods ceviche shrimp and a Greek salad

I'm PRAYING today is the day the aquarium finally gets set up ..

If I could meet any living celebrity - I suppose it would be Ron Howard . I really admired how he transitioned from acting to directing and then producing his own very successful projects in the nineties before it was the trend to do so . And he's done a lifetime of amazing work.
