I told my mom that I just bought a cabbage on a stick and I ate 8 whole cabbages all by myself! She told me that I was exaggerating, but if it was true, she was going to stay clear of my fiber heavy down wind for a few hours! “Whew!” But don’t worry mamma, I only ate 8 mini cabbages or what most people call, brussels sprouts. “Hee! Hee!” . My local market had some stalks of brussels sprouts and I left the market wielding this cool weapon of baby brussel bullets. They ‘re mighty tasty with a nice addition of curry and coconut milk and if you’re lucky enough to get your hands on a whole stalk, you’ve got dinner and a weapon!
