And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Friday Night Dinner: BBQ'ed ribs, a Black Manhattan, and Brussel Sprouts.
Brussel Sprouts halved then fried in Olive Oil with a couple of quartered garlic cloves to go along with most any kind of grilled meat are a meal fit for a king, IMHO. Low heat or they'll burn. Burnt Sprouts are nasty.
Yes, in all respects, except I'd like more garlic, please. But that's just me, yours would be fine. Caramelization, not carbonization is the key to cooking them. Most so-called cooks overcook and under season them so no wonder people despise them. The photo is a good guide. And, a little bacon or smoked ham would go a long way, too, but certainly not necessary.
Damn that looks good!
ReplyDeleteIt tasted as good as it looked. The sprouts were beyond delish for a veg.
DeleteI only like Brussels Sprouts if I don't have to smell them cooking.
