#8 - What. No Brussels sprouts!?

pariswat

Keep forgetting the sprouts. I don't like them. A shame.

PQ : our highways at night ?

thursdaysd

Try eating the sprouts raw. Or sauteed.

bilboburgler

sprouts fried with potatoes in bacon fat, real winter food

pariswat

Last answer was the sub machine gun (mitraillette).
Pain français (baguette) sauce tartare frites et brochette ou fricandelle.
All very light. No problems for your cholesterol.

For sport nobody mentioned Justine Henin (was invited by her tonight she is very active with her foundation justine for kids) and Kim Clijsters.

Better than sprouts in fat imo is a salade liégeoise. Haricots verts (beans) onions speck and potatoes. Then salt pepper and ... vinegar.
