1st confession: When I was in third grade all the kids called me Adrianna A-dummy. Like Adarme (my last name), but A-dummy. That sucked. 2nd confession: I misspelled brussels sprouts up until a few years ago. I went nearly my entire life calling it and spelling it brussel sprouts. No ‘s’ just singular. Brussel. Wrong! I think somewhere in my subconscious I felt a little guilty about that mispronunciation because I started eating them regularly. Or I just started noticing them on menus or at the grocery store more; not sure, but duuude, do I love them. I think one of the worst thing in the world is overcooked, soft, limp-like cooked vegetables. When people say they hate vegetables; what they’re really trying to say is that they hate overcooked vegetables. (Or maybe they really hate vegetables. I dunno.) Brussels sprouts are probably the only vegetable I’ve never eaten overcooked. They’re pretty immune to getting overcooked. These things are known to keep their crunch. Let’s talk pomegranate molasses! Pomegranate molasses isn’t molasses at all, it’s actually just pomegranate juice reduced until it’s a thick consistency that resembles molasses. You should be able to find it at any middle eastern supermarket …
