Overboard by Chip Dunham for March 22, 2016

And when the time comes, send them over to me, I love Brussels Sprouts!

They are good for dogs too!

Cut them in half, cook with vinegar, caraway, salt.

I’d rather eat mule fritters.

Good morning, Crew!

Give them to me and they’re getting cooked with bacon and cranberries!

I planted brussel sprouts in the last garden I planted. They were the ONLY thing the @#$%^&* deer didn’t eat. I always liked them boiled, but until I started roasting them I never loved them like I do now. Much more flavor!

As a note for those who have gardens near a National Forest, Morkies make poor guard dogs.

Fresh ones are great. Canned – blech.

Cut them in half, toss them with olive oil, salt & pepper and roast them in a 400 degree oven until brown and crispy. Delicious. The dogs go wild when I get them out to clean them. They get the trimmings and a few sprouts. Their favorite treats.

A good day for brussel sprouts. A sad day for Brussels.

Does this imply that Charley can communicate with Belgian waffles, too?

Garlic and lemon butter sause.Light!You want to compliment the bitter, just a touch with a little acid. Lemon peper is also good.

Good morning crew!

Cannot decide who we like best in this wonderful strip……they are all special. Thank you, Chip, again.

Gee, who knew? Charley the Brussels Sprouts Whisperer! LOL!

Good morning Crew!

Brussels Sprouts, served chilled in a sweet and sour marinade with little slices of sweet red pepper, delicious!

To be exact: Jake & Amos Pickled Sweet Brussels Sprouts! Yummy! Don’t know if you can find them in your area or not, but their foods are REALLY good! It’s a PA Dutch Company out of Myerstown, PA

I HATE those things – and I did some research and found that there is a gene that is responsible for that:

Tomoth, I think that gene is in me. I wonder if it’s also the same one that’s responsible for making dislike peas and green beans.

I’ve tried them lots of ways and I pretty much don’t like them cooked. However, raw in salad is pretty good.

@TomothSurprisingly, my mother had the most violent reaction to PTC I’ve ever seen (and I helped test classes of first-year biology students for the trait every year) yet she loved leafy green vegetables!

I am surprised so many of you enjoy the king of vegetables! They were always my favourite, the one good thing about Winter!!!

I always loved them even when I was a kid. I used to trade my cousins for theirs.

Charley, you can be my motivational speaker any day …

Good Evening, Crew.
