While at Trader Joe’s yesterday, I saw this interesting item…

A Brussels Sprouts Stalk!

Look at this thing:

Somehow I have been on this planet for thirty-mumblemumble years, and I never knew that Brussels sprouts grew on a stalk. I had only seen them in frozen packages or fresh containers. I always thought they grew just like cabbage, but were picked when really tiny! Of course, I had to buy the stalk. Tonight, Lilia and I picked the sprouts off the stalk, and I steamed them up. Yum!

Here’s the Wikipedia entry on Brussels Sprouts, in case you want to know more.
