That's what sprouts look like when they're growing?! I may have to reconsider my taste for them. That looks like a plant escapee from some alien world.

This is correct.
To see a stalk growing out of the ground about the size of your forearm with 'alien eggs' growing out of it is a bit unnerving at first.
And when you snap the sprouts off, and THEY GROW BACK!

But Brussel sprouts in the store - about $3 per pound, cabbage- 10¢ per pound.
Do the math. How would you spend your time?

Wow. The first person who decided to try eating those had to have been real hungry, that's for sure! But I guess that's true for a lot of the things we eat.

Brussel sprouts are simply miniature cabbages.
And they are much easier to work with than cabbage heads.:thumbs:

THINGS I LEARNED LIVING IN THE SOUTH
1. A possum is a flat animal that sleeps in the middle of the road.
2. There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998 of them live in the South.
3. There are 10,000 types of spiders. All 10,000 of them live in the South, plus a couple no one's seen before.
4. If it grows, it'll stick ya. If it crawls, it'll bite cha.
5. Onced and Twiced are words.
6. It is not a shopping cart, it is a buggy!

More from our southern language class...

7Jawl-P? means: Did you all go to the bathroom?
8. People actually grow, eat and like okra.
9. Fixinto is one word. It means I'm going to do something.
10. There is no such thing as lunch. There is only dinner and then there's supper.
11. Iced tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking it when you're two. We do like a little tea with our sugar. It is referred to as the Wine of the South.
12. Backwards and forwards means I know everything about you.
13. The word jeet is actually a question meaning, 'Did you eat?'
14. You don't have to wear a watch, because it doesn't matter what time it is, you work until you're done or it's too dark to see.

I picked up the Iliad and the Odyssey from Amazon today (don't worry, they were free - I know this is public domain now). Figured my collection needed to add these classics. I read them in high school, but not since.

It was so thoughtful of Amazon to offer me to follow the author, so I don't miss any of his new releases:

Uummm, We are all going to follow Homer at the end of our journey here on Earth. ;)
