the rix mix

The first time brussel sprouts exploded in the microwave, a lid loosely covered the bowl, in which there was a small amount of water. The second time brussel sprouts exploded, they were about 80% cooked in a small amount of water, no lid, had cooled a little, & they popped when I nuked them another minute. If they've exploded, they're overcooked. So I took what remained in the bowl, blended the sprouts with a cup of V8 & a splash of Worcestershire.

It was a lovely evening for a walk to the library. back under a cloudless sky, low humidity, changing colors from twilight to dusk, deeper & deeper blues.
