Most people I know dislike brussels sprouts - which is a shame, as this little green dudes are made of health (not to mention the surprisingly high amount of protein). But bacon? Everybody loves bacon, and anything with bacon tastes great!
The key to brussels sprouts is just not to overcook them - overcooked sprouts are bland, devoid of any nutritional value, and taste of sulphur (think: hell). To be done right, they can be either steamed, or blanched in boiling water for a short time - this way they remain crispy and taste great. And look at this vibrant green - just look at it.
Add some walnuts for extra texture, sprinkle with thyme - and voila. Enjoy your meal. Trust me, it's absolutely delicious.

Whether you are hiking or have reached the top of Mt Antero at 14,276 feet, there are plenty of opportunities to appreciate the moment.
Just coming around from a wet cold, I thought it's time to check out a Zuiko OM 50/1.8 on the Lumix G1.
ISO 200, 50mm, f/4, 1/200s. Manual focus was on the onion greens. The 50 on a Micro 4/3 camera is equivalent to 100mm, and provides a lovely bokeh.
A small seaweed sprout. Manual composite of one f/8 shot to get the sprout clear, and one f/2.8 shot to allow the stone to be filled with bokehlicious reflections.

Single image of an untouched tree at daylight. The dark background is because of the fast shutter speed of 1/200 (minimum for the oncamera flash) and the flashlight from above.
Who would expect that (not-moving) trees are almost impossible to stack?
Sorry, I don't remember which tree it was.
Shot with the setup you already know (see the comments) stopped down to F11-16 if I remember correctly.
Forests come in all sizes. This impossibly tiny sprout was growing inside the trunk of a small and ancient bonsai tree, with a sharp ray of sunlight streaking over it. It has secret ambitions of growing up to hundreds of feet tall.
Our soaking rains have been enough to sprout the Buckeye nuts...Hopefully the rains will continue long enough for it's root to penetrate deeply to give the new seedling a chance to survive our dry Summer season.
Brussels Sprout
- smoked pancetta, garlic, mozzarella, pecorino.
Lights out good! I still prefer red pizza, but this pie was excellent.
NB: Motorino menu describes this pizza as "BRUSSELS SPROUT", which is how I spelled it in the image description. That said, "Brussel Sprouts" seems to be used a lot more often in the US - so I did choose that spelling for the image title.
Please take a look at the entire Motorino picture set.
Sprouts. I know, a bit late for starting sweet corn but with a huge rabbit population I decided to try starting them on my porch for transplanting to a new rabbit proof part of the garden. Won't be knee high on the 4th of July and given my bad historical record with corn, I will be thrilled to get a could of meals worth of ears.

Unlike most green vegetables, Brussels sprouts are rather high in protein.
Although the protein is incomplete—lacking the full spectrum of essential amino acids—a serving of whole grains will make them complete.
A member of the cabbage family, Brussels sprouts are a cruciferous vegetable.
brr i did it..went outside brr, so buzz these last days, hardly find a moment for a proper photo, so this morning walked through this "white green heart of holland" brr and found these brussels sprouts the story is that they taste better if there frost around them...ieww.. ;D
ODC Forward
Stu is sprouting his own seeds and this gadget really pushes the time forward for them to develop little tails. It's only been a couple of days and they've already sprouted. When you do it in a jar they can take a lot longer.
A silhouette of a sprouting bamboo cane in a densely shady spot that only occasionally receives dappled sunlight filtered through the fluid construct that is the multitude of slender, pointed leaves of the bamboo type from just above amongst this new plant's elders. This particular type of bamboo can grow to ~10 ft. (~3 m) within a week or less. I've personally witness the startling growth and keeping this plant from exploiting the yard as its complete residence is a daily struggle, finding and nipping all of the undesired areas where runners send up new sprouts as this giant organism tries to establish a huge colony forest of the same leaf. Birds of a feather flock together, flowers of a petal bloom together, and plants of a leaf sprout, bud, and grow out together. Marvelous. My personal observation is that a bamboo sprout of this specie looks like a shrunken-head or bonsai version of a pineapple growing on a sprouting tree trunk. It's a weird look. The leaves that are shown like dred-locks of hair are probably the cotyledons and when the sprout reaches about ~10 ft. to ~20 ft. (~3m to ~7m), the sprout begins to unfold the branches and true leaves begin to grow shortly after the sprouts outer shusk-like material is shed upon the thicket floor. Strange indeed.

Adapted this recipe for myself. Such a nice, quick bread that's hearty and fantastic with soups. Like the one bowl of decadent soup that was leftover from last night!♥
Sprouted Wheat Soda Bread
4 cups (16 oz) sprouted wheat flour
1 Teaspoon baking soda
1 Teaspoon salt
14 oz alternative buttermilk (I used almond milk with a spoon of apple cider vinegar, let sit for a few minutes)
Method:
Preheat the oven to 425 F. degrees. Cut a piece of parchment paper to line cake pan.
In a large bowl sieve and combine all the dry ingredients.
Add the 'buttermilk' to form a sticky dough. Place on floured surface and lightly knead (too much allows the gas to escape)
Shape into a round flat shape in a round cake pan and cut a cross in the top of the dough.
Cover the pan with another pan and bake for 30 minutes (this simulates the bastible pot). Remove cover and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
The bottom of the bread will have a hollow sound when tapped so show it is done.
Cover the bread in a tea towel and lightly sprinkle water on the cloth to keep the bread moist.
