Tye is a Genius

My Friend Tye cooks a lot like me--& tonight he was on. Throwing things together from what's around..First we had some sweet/salty cabbage his Mommy made; just a few bites. He found the recipe on the fridge it was cabbage, vinegar, sugar currant jam & something else.

Then he made these ridiculous brussel sprouts. I LOVE BRUSSEL SPROUTS!! People who don't are missing out on a succulent delicousy & probably just haven't had them cooked right.

In a wide, shallow pan he boiled them for like 10 min then poured off the water (they were cut in half first) then he sauteed them in cheap red wine that had two grizzly bears fighting on it--butter & a dash of vanilla! Genius, like i said.

We also had those uncooked tortillas with extra sharp Tillamook--so important-- and some cooked white beans from the fridge & the best part? OREGANO. So tasty. On the side i had a big pile of the mango salsa from Costco as a salad. After some impromptu yoga i had a couple chunks of crystalized ginger. O yeah! & in the sprouts--fresh raw pinenuts i shelled by tapping them w the handle of a big knife (like i open garlic cloves)

& just to remind myself later...Erin, my roomie told me about garlicky BS's & apricot Yams. i gotta remember that. Big Casserole coming soon!
