I am 22, single, poor, and angry.

I have beer for dinner!

Martinis on the classy days!

The good news is, that prevents my cooking from being able to make ECH sick, as it does not exist!

I should be enjoying some decent eats tonight.  It's the agency's annual celebration/beg-a-thon sponsored by a leading insurance company.  It's Maine so I'm sure there will be some form of dead Marine life on my plate.

2. spicy caramelized garlic brussels sprouts? recipe plz.

It's a light pinot, so you get more of the gentle fruit, and the dark flavor of the bacon ground it with the floral notes in the thyme.

Also:


-In the largest saute pan you can find, render a piece of thick-cut country bacon (not maple flavored, or any other flavor for that matter), chopped.

-Leave the fat in the pan, remove the bacon.  Add a 1/4 tsp of red chili flakes, and a good pinch of kosher salt.  Raise the heat to medium.

-trim and half about a pound of brussel sprouts.  Add the sprouts, cut side down, in the pan.  if you run out of room, just put the rest on the top of the ones touching the pan.

-Cover, and leave alone for about 6 minutes.

-Check the cut side for carmalization.  They should be golden brown, but a little black is ok, too.

-Toss with chopped garlic, and throw the bacon back in. Cover again and let sit, tossing occasionally, until cooked through.  Season to taste.

[Triple Zero]

sounds like an awesome recipe, but i thought caramelisation has to do with browning sugar?

[LMNO]

It's the term for whenever sugars burn.

This includes the sugars naturally found in the sprout, as well as the garlic.

sweet.
