Harley Chick and Hot Rod Russ came for dinner Sunday night.  We played a little music after dinner and we ate a lot of Black Bean Pineapple Stew, but the hit of the evening was the Brussel Sprouts Stalk.

How can I describe what this is?

Like a Yule Log with warts.

YULE LOG.

YULE LOG CAKE.

Banjo Man, who loves grocery store produce departments like I love quilt stores, brought home this rustic beauty Sunday morning.

It’s a “do it yourself” vegetable.

 After roasting the stalk for 45 minutes (basted with olive oil and sprinkled with kosher salt, rotated every 15 minutes at 350 degrees) I set it in the middle of the table and gave everyone their own sharp knife.

Cave Men Meet Vegetarians.
