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

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)

Tasty and so cute!
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.
Frozen Brussels sprouts are just evil --- the smell alone is enough to gag me. 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.

Huh. I used to burn cones in mine... ahhh, the memories. I had a '66 Volvo. I burned the cones in the ash tray. It was metal... and it was suppose to house hot ashes... <scratches head>... I hadn't thought about burning incense in the car for a while... Oh yeah, I don't smoke anymore! <snort> -- Cyndi <Remove a "b" to reply

Williams and Sonoma are good, if pricey. You need a scent like rosemary or lemon, IMO, nothing too flowery. Naomi D.
I can't be around incense either. Sneezing, itchy eyes, the works. That's why I mentioned the Oust...it doesn't affect my allergies at all. Candles, on the other hand, do the same as the incense unfortunately 🙁 I had a brief affair of the heart with the red apple, juicy pear, and cucumber melon scented candles but they send my allergies into hypermode.
