Sacrifice help: Brussle sprouts

JLOCKHART29 · March 2008

OK gang got lots of stuff burning and only 1 medium egg to do it on. (Bean you could help by donating your small to the cause!

) Anyone got a recipe for brussle's that will cook at about 300ish indirect? Full Sacrifice thread latter. Look who's in the "Shack"!! With 20 mph winds sketters with West Nile no worry!!

Sounds kinda bizarre...and now your talking "alter".....just my opinion...but it don't sit well with me....which explains my lack of replies to those type of posts.....absolutely not trying to start a war over this..merely speaking my mind....Post on..

OOps..you just replied Wess :whistle:

Longknocker · March 2008

Are you starting trouble AGAIN WessB? You been tipping the jug again too?
If you don't have something nice to say why say anything at all?

WessB · March 2008

As I said...it was just my opinion...not starting trouble at all...and "What" exactly in your reply was "something nice to say" ?

WessB · March 2008

????? Don't understand what you are trying to say...

Car Wash Mike · March 2008

Agree Wess.

Look folks. I'm not trying to be sacrireligous AT ALL! I'm not an angle by any means but am a Christian and go to church when not working shiftwork. When I tell someone on this form like the lady who's husbond had cancer I'll pray for them I mean it. Not just lip service. Only God knows whats in someone's heart and he knows mine. If I offended some one I'm sorry but NOTHING AGAINST THE ALL MIGHTEY WAS MENT!! He knows and hope you do!

JLOCKHART29 · March 2008

I'll figure out the brussle sprouts.

WessB · March 2008

No offense taken...just echoing my original reply....it comes acrross a little bizarre, and also repeating..that it was just MY opinion..this is America..post as you see fit..Your posts are typically very good...I just find the "sacrifice" thing a little odd...for the last time...Just my opinion..and no offense taken or intended...

WessB · March 2008

Absolutely had no intentions of dragging your post away from getting a reply to help you with your original request....personally don't eat brussel sprouts..so I can't offer any help with cooking them..

stike · March 2008

call me nutty, but i'm guessing all you mean is a little exaggerated reference to "sacrificing something on the alter of the BGE", right? ...a reference to the whole "cultish" aspect.

hmmm. i don't see why 1. ) it's hard to understand or 2.) doesn't sit well

BamaBackdraft · March 2008

JL always look forward to your post! Hope the replies don't slow you down.

lowercasebill · March 2008

not unlike the commediens who say "when my wife cooks it is like a burnt offering

Grandpas Grub · March 2008

hmmm... I thought it was a PETA reference.

Brussle sprout, I wouldn't dare, they might brake the egg.

ALTAR is for sacrificing, or praying. As in "The priest prayed on the altar during Easter Mass."

ALTER means to change. transform. As in "Wess altered stike's head when he stuck him with a Crown Bottle."

Jlockhart cut those babies in half, coat them generously with EVOO and Dizzy Pig's Shaking the trees and roast at 300 till tender. They will alter your appreciation for Brussel Sprouts

Celtic Wolf · March 2008

BREAK!! :woohoo:

only a vacuum will put the brakes to the egg.. and a lack of Lump.. :silly:

Eggtucky · March 2008

You said in your original repy that you dont reply to those kind of posts...jus making light of the fact that you just had

WessB · March 2008

And I have not responded for the last couple of months to the "Sacrifice" posts that have been posted....and really have no idea what compelled me to say anything tonight...but as usual, I'm sure I'll end up the bad guy for whatever reason for speaking my mind....Honestly don't believe I am the only one that thinks it's a little weird....let's not let this blow up into something it needs not be...

Grandpas Grub · March 2008

LOL & brussle sprouts.

maybe I should try some, might suprise me.

GG

Celtic Wolf · March 2008

Well I figures J was being picked on enough without telling him he spelled Brussel wrong. :whistle:

FlaPoolman · March 2008

Cant help it but some of my cooks become sacrifices & some of my sacrifices become great cooks. Aint no bad guys around here. Now Leroy's fingers,,,thats a sacrifice.

Grandpas Grub · March 2008

Thought it looked a little odd so I just copied. Maybe I will try some burssel's too.

GG

Grandpas Grub · March 2008

BTW, I was reading on of your earlier posts. Don't you have several XL's?

GG

Celtic Wolf · March 2008

I have 1. 3 LBGE and 2 SBGE

FlaPoolman · March 2008

But this is his secret to great cooks.

stike · March 2008

thanks.

though i hope you really aren't saying it's open season on spelling errors. you've been known make a few, yourself,actually. i thought we let things slide here, since this is a BBQ forum, and not the Chicago Manual of Style's forum.

Celtic Wolf · March 2008

Had to have some reason to pick on you..

stike · March 2008

the attention is flattering.
in grade school, if you liked a girl, i bet you pulled her hair.

Now You're Cooking! v5.83 [Meal-Master Export Format]

Title: Shaved Brussels Sprouts With Pancetta
Categories: side dish, vegetables
Yield: 1

2 lbs brussels sprouts
1 tb vegetable oil
8 ozs pancetta; cut crosswise=20
-into 1/4 i
salt and pepper

1. Using a sharp knife or mandoline (see notes), thinly slice brussels
sprouts crosswise, discarding the root ends. The resulting "shaved"
sprouts should resemble confetti.

2. Pour vegetable oil into a large pot over high heat; add pancetta and
stir until slightly crisp, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium high,
add brussels sprouts, and cook, stirring often, until sprouts are bright
green and tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve
hot.

Makes 8 - 10 servings

Notes: A mandoline works well for "shaving" the brussels sprouts. Use
a fork stuck in the core end of the sprout to keep your fingers away
from the blade.

Brussels sprouts are not my favorite vegetable, but I can eat them. At
Christmas time I had this recipe at a friend's home and enjoyed it.
Given that there are a few other b sprouts eaters, I thought I would
share. This recipe came from the Dec 2006 Sunset magazine.
