> [@Breadmaker](#): > > Re Brussell sprouts… Or toss them in a frying pan with bacon!!! 😋 I like them in the summertime. In a cast iron skillet, halved, on the grille with very high heat. Bacon fat is good. If I have none, then olive oil (not EVOO, as it smokes at too low of a temp). I like to brown them. Outdoor cooking keeps the cabbagey smell outside. ---

> [@JFG](#): > > **Ghirardelli** Box brownies are awesome I altered your quote. Ghirardelli are my strong preference as I have bought many brands and that one stands out above all others, IMHO. I would never bother making “from scratch” brownies when the box made Ghirardellis are basically perfect. ---

If you have any more in your freezer, I would open the whole package and dump it into a pan and roast in the oven. And next time buy the plain ones and add olive oil & salt, toss, roast. When they start to brown, turn them and roast some more. I guarantee you’ll get better tasting Brussels sprouts. Fresh is better than frozen, but frozen isn’t terrible. And it’s hard to overcook them. When in doubt, cook a little longer. ---

While I was loading up the dishwasher after dinner, Hubby poured himself a whiskey and me some amaretto. Without looking too closely (or noticing that he’d put my amaretto at my place at the table) I grabbed the glass he set down on the counter kind of near me and took a sip. Whoa!! That was stronger than I was expecting! Hubby gave me a funny look… if I wanted whiskey, why didn’t I just ask him for it? Oh… **that’s** why it was so strong! It’s not my amaretto, it’s his whiskey. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️🥃 ---

Did that as a 4 yr old. Thought the whiskey was apple juice. It was not. I spit it right out. That was in the kitchen of the house we moved from when I was just over 4 yrs old. So one of my oldest memories. ---

My kid did that with vodka, probably also at about 4-5 years old. I poured a shot, left the room, he sipped and started gagging. We still laugh about it to this day. ---

> [@Personal Disappointments thread](https://community.goactuary.com/t/personal-disappointments-thread/5563/34): > > 39’ vertical jump Cross post from disappointments thread. I was thinking I probably couldn’t manage 39’ even on the moon. Then I got to thinking, it probably isn’t as easy in converting energy in jump to moon gravity/height, because you’d likely be in contact with lunar surface for a shorter time period than earth surface, so you might not be able to get same amount energy in your jump. Curse my lack of fast twitch muscle fibers! ---

Seems like there’s more humble bragging than personal disappointments. ---

> [@DeepPurple](#): > > sauerkraut and coleslaw are just the Westified versions of kimchi No. Fresh cabbage is not an American/Western version of fermented cabbage. Or more generally… fresh X \<\> fermented X for all values of X. Are bread and beer different versions of the same thing? Fresh grapes and wine? Nope. Not true of cabbage either. Now the distinction between kimchi and sauerkraut I’ll give you. ---

Sauerkraut and coleslaw are both tasty but not even close to similar beyond that. Not much of an opinion on kimchi. ---
