N is not a culinary adventure seeker. He likes things he knows and that he knows he likes. He was therefore a little put out by the vegetable of the evening, Brussels sprouts. I tried my hardest to make them as unhealthy as possible, but still couldn't appeal to him. (How can anyone not like Brussels sprouts tossed in onions, garlic, and bits of bacon?!?) Even our recited mantra "Brussels sprouts bring muscles out!" failed to endear him to the little green orbs.It was only the warning of the loss of an after-dinner cupcake and threat of my muscles coming out that encouraged him to eat a single sample.
L on the other hand, sucked up big time, reminding Stacy and I repeatedly of how she had very obediently eaten all her Brussels sprouts.

Tell N that his second?? cousin has been on the outs with the sprouts for forty-ahem mumble/mumble years!!!
Don't know though bacon could possibly sway me to the green side.....
