One is tart, one is sweet. When asked how to tell the difference, he said rule of thumb is to look at the skin between one of the point termini and the core termini, if it's flat, most likely the fruit is tart; if it bows outward, its most likely "sweet" and the more the outward bow, the sweeter the fruit. So far, (knock on wood) that simple trick has proven about 95% accurate for the carombolas that show up, up here in WV.shadowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128564025720964640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1167169544798680772006-12-26T13:45:00.000-08:002006-12-26T13:45:00.000-08:00I refused to eat brussels sprouts my entire life u...I refused to eat brussels sprouts my entire life until I found this method of preparation in a veg magazine: I cut the brussels sprouts in half and roast them along with cauliflower in a little coconut oil and sea salt. This is amazingly yummy, and organic coconut oil is part of a vegan detox diet on which I thrived for about a month recently, losing around ten pounds without trying (which is just a side benefit, of course)--surprisingly good for you.<BR/><BR/>Just got laptop lunchboxes for my entire family for Christmas--thanks for the inspiration!<BR/><BR/>MelissaMelissa Crowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06106042723556856565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1166638581383825802006-12-20T10:16:00.000-08:002006-12-20T10:16:00.000-08:00Hi Roxy-Sorry it has taken me a bit to respond.

And thank you Jennifer for the Post Punk Kitchen link!<BR/><BR/>The Healthy Hedonist is a cookbook for the "flexitarian" diet- people who (mostly) identify as vegetarians but eat a limited bit of organic eggs/dairy and a bit of fish/poultry. I admire that sort of diet- it seems very reasonable- but am a long-time steadfast vegan myself. The cookbook is more than worth its cover price for the butternut squash soup recipe alone (which is vegan) and so tasty that my son calls it "pudding." <BR/><BR/>AndreaAndrea Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00128006533753276526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1166569012909518732006-12-19T14:56:00.000-08:002006-12-19T14:56:00.000-08:00Beauuutiful blog.Beauuutiful blog.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01580360308226801408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1166541052216181502006-12-19T07:10:00.000-08:002006-12-19T07:10:00.000-08:00Being here...Being here...Brujahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977739255213214787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1166534662439318902006-12-19T05:24:00.000-08:002006-12-19T05:24:00.000-08:00MMMMM : )MMMMM : )High Power Rocketryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11537203640644706903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1166473609373214132006-12-18T12:26:00.000-08:002006-12-18T12:26:00.000-08:00I'd give it 5 hohos.I'd give it 5 hohos.urban veganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01541085454822240908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1166457640029294332006-12-18T08:00:00.000-08:002006-12-18T08:00:00.000-08:00Love the radishes - they are so cute!-CrystalLove the radishes - they are so cute!<BR/><BR/>-CrystalCrystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116685291056531223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1166411323304739932006-12-17T19:08:00.000-08:002006-12-17T19:08:00.000-08:00Andrea Baker-yes, coconut oil is a good substitute...Andrea Baker-<BR/>yes, coconut oil is a good substitute for butter.

A tablespoon of ground flaxseeds whirred up with some water make a good egg substitute as well.

Sprinkle a little salt. Prepare to taste something totally unlike any brussels sprouts your mouth has ever known. They become sweet.
