Hi Jim,

 RH> It's an interresting taste--not as sweet as honey nor as strong as
 RH> molasses.

 JW> More like corn syrup but with its own taste?

That's probably the best way to describe it.  I'll be making bread
tomorrow (good snow day activity) so will try it instead of my usual
honey.  Temps are predicted to go down as low as 12 or so overnight so a
lot of schools have canceled class, businesses staying closed or opening
later, etc.  Ice on the roads will be a major issue.  Steve has no
class; I don't until Thursday so we're OK there.

 RH> Steve is not a
 RH> brussels sprouts eater but conceded that he would try them if I
 RH> roasted them. Rachel suggested cut in half with drizzles of balsamic
 RH> vinegar & olive oil and a sprinkle of salt.

 JW> I hated BS when I was a kid but they were done English style: boiled

That's probably how Steve's mom fixed them, and my mom.  His dad got
prt pay as a bushel of them once so nobody likes them.  I like them but
Rachel's suggestion sounds like they will be majorly improved.  If Steve
likes it, I may makeit for his folks next time they come thru here.


JW> to death and beyond. I learned to appreciate them just barely steamed
 JW> and later, sliced and stir fried or roasted. Rachel's way is an
 JW> excellent one.

It sounds that way to me.  Paired with a lighter tasting vegetable for
contrast maybe.

 JW> They are also excellent when combined with bacon, chestnuts, carrots
 JW> or parsnips. Even rutabaga if you are into them. Or replacing the
 JW> green
 JW> beans in this:

All kinds of ideas; maybe Steve will end up liking them and I'll have to
fight to get my share. (G)

 JW>       Title: Roasted Rack of Lamb with Small Vegetables
 JW>  Categories: Lamb, Wine, Australian, Beans
 JW>       Yield: 4 Servings

 JW>       2    Racks of lamb, containing 4
 JW>            To 5 chops each, boned
 JW>            (reserve bones)
 JW>            Butter
 JW>            Oil
 JW>            Mirepoix (chopped onion,
 JW>            Carrots and celery)
 JW>     1/2 c  White wine
 JW>            Water
 JW>       2 bn Small carrots
 JW>       2 bn Small turnips
 JW>       4    Florets of cauliflower
 JW>     500 g  Tiny green beans

I'll replace the wine with maybe a bit of stock or something; other than
that, it
