INSTRUCTIONS
Dreaded? Brussels sprouts are one of my two most favorites. Try this, from Time-Life's Fresh Ways with Vegetables: Put the onion, oil, pepper, and 1/2 cup of water in a saucepan. Bring water to a boil over high heat and partially cover pan so a little steam can escape. Reduce heat to medium and cook onion, stirring occasionally, till it is caramelized--i.e., water's about all gone, but a brown syrupy release of the onion's natural sugar is around and about--about one hour. Uncover pan and add wine to onion. Raise heat to high and boil rapidly till almost all the wine has evaporated--5 to 10 minutes. About 15 minutes before the onion's done, steam Brussels sprouts till they are tender. Toss with onion and serve.

A Message from our Provider:
“A cheerful spirit is one of the most valuable gifts ever bestowed upon humanity by a kind Creator. It is the sweetest and most fragrant flower of the Spirit, that constantly sends out its beauty and fragrance, and blesses everything within its reach. It will sustain the soul in the darkest and most dreary places of this world. It will hold in check the demons of despair, and stifle the power of discouragement and hopelessness. It is the brightest star that ever cast its radiance over the darkened soul, and one that seldom sets in the gloom of morbid fancies and forboding imaginations.”
