Burning down the sprouts
I set the Brussels sprouts to finish sauteeing, but my TV program was
starting and I forgot about them. Let me tell you, blackened Brussels sprouts STINK! Fortunately tonight is garbage eve so the physical evidence will be gone by tomorrow morning. I fear, however, that the smell will linger for days. I guess I'll try burning a scented candle. Sue(tm) Lead me not into temptation... I can find it myself! |

Similar to burned cabbage; I had to be very careful with the cabbage recipe the other night which called for sauteeing it, quartered, with garlic in oil... could have been a disaster! Don't you just love sprouts otherwise, though? I don't understand people who hate them. Gosh, they are tasty! Except, there's always that *one* nasty sprout that just tastes bitter... (sigh) Jill |

If I need to deoderize the car, (which happens sometime if some scumbag at the repair shop smoked in my car!), I use a stick holder for safety and place 2 or 3 sticks in it, light them and place it on the dashboard with all the windows close... Leave it while you are NOT in there of course! The incense smell absorbs nicely into the headliner and seats. It works. :-) Works nice for mildewy smells too if you left the window open during a rain.

I just noticed a couple of weeks ago that my local store carries fresh Brussels sprouts and have been picking them up. I think some people are adverse to a flavor component of the cruciferae (sprouts/cabbage/cauliflower) and some just never let themselves develop a taste for them. I've also noticed that the frozen ones vary a lot in bitterness/woodiness within the package. The fresh ones seem more uniform. Sue(tm) Lead me not into temptation... I can find it myself! |

I bought some chocolate incense that would have been ideal for this but I gave it away. Shoulda bought two. The good news is that this morning either a) the smell is gone or b) my nose has become desensitized :> We'll see which it is when I come back from work. Sue(tm) Lead me not into temptation...

I can find it myself! You'd probably really like escalloped 'sprouts... simple enough. Cut the sprouts in half lengthwise. Prepare a bechamel sauce and pour the sauce over the sprouts in a shallow baking dish. Bake as you would escalloped potatoes, hot oven, about 1 hour 15 minutes or so until they are tender and bubbly. I like to sprinkle breadcrumbs or wheatgerm on the top prior to baking. YUM! Jill |

I even used it on the boat after the fires and it worked very well getting rid of that stale smoke/soot smell. kimberly |

DH has always claimed he hated them but he changed his mind last night. I mixed up a little balsamic vinegar, sugar, s&p, & melted butter and after cooking and draining the sprouts I tossed them in the pan with the vinegar mixture, gently heated and served. They were wonderful! Gigi > |

I couldn't stand to be around cooked Brussels sprouts until I had my first fresh ones, just a few years ago. They've become one of my favorite vegetables. I like to cut them in half and steam them, then briefly saute them in butter, just enough to get a little color on the cut side, and hit them with freshly grated nutmeg. ---jkb -- "Damn you, brocolli!" -- Stewie Griffin |

It doesn't cover up one scent with another--it actually changes the molecular structure. It is sold lots of places--large drug stores, auto supply stores, hardware stores. It comes in a tall narrow spray can, white with blue letters. Look in the auto supply section of your big chain drug store. |
