NEW THING-try a food NOW that you HATED as a kid!!

This was a suggestion from  Craig Gummer–that I try something as an adult that I HATED as a kid!  The first thing that came to mind was BRUSSELS SPROUTS.  I could not imagine EVER liking these horrible things. I used to hide them under the carpet when I was forced to eat all my “vegetables”. (thank God we had a dog) They were repulsive to me back then, and just the thought of eating them now made me angry that Craig should suggest I be put through that torment all over again….BUT–..my good friend Angela SWORE by a recipe that guaranteed I would like them if prepared as instructed…….I did not believe there was even  a WAY to cook brussel sprouts that would make them edible unless you fried them and covered them in chocolate….

BUT—With the help of my good friend (and secret chef) Bernard, we executed this NEW THING challenge with grace and ease,…(and garlic)….Press play and see if I am now a fan of Brussel Sprouts as an adult…….did my feelings change???  Craig this ones for you….
