I consider my greatest achievements in the kitchen to be preparing something my special lady likes that she never liked till I made it for her. These have included brocolli, fish, corn and bell peppers. Onions too, but I add those secretly so she doesn't realize yet that she has grown fond of onions. The trickest so far has been brussel sprouts. Steamed, baked, boiled, parboiled, buttered, cheese-covered, salted, salted-buttered, cheese-buttered...no luck! Finally I managed to serve them up so she liked 'em yesterday:
1. warm 3T olive oil in a pan on medium low temp
2. immediatly add 1T red pepper flakes (I would have thrown in a garlic clove but I couldn't find one)
3. when they start to blacken, remove them with a flat spatule
4. add so much breadcrumbs that they soak up all the oil; if you add too much add some butter to soak the remainder
5. if sensitive to the sound of wook scraping on metal, insert earplugs
6. work the mass around a bit with the spatula
7. add cored, halved brussel sprouts and continue working around; add 1t salt; cover for a minute and work around and cover, work, cover, work, cover, work for 6 minutes
She totally like it.

tiesa sakant, maniau, kad tikrai yra NEIMANOMA kaip nors valgyt briuselius neuzgeriant juos kaskart dideliu kiekiu vandens, kad kaip nors "nuslystu"...bet...Tau pavyko, Arai!
kalbant apie svogunus - as vis dar ju nemegstu ir paslapcia juos isimu is maisto :D
what if instead you did the exact same thing, but instead of adding the brussel sprouts at the end, you just ate a big plate of bread crumbs. That sounds even better.
Plus onions are totally not delicious, unless they are totally cooked. Raw onions are no good. and even cooked onions are almost always better with mushrooms which are way more delicious
sauted and caramelized onions are what i make, i don't like raw onions. darius does, though, he piles them on his sandwiches, like an onion freak. cause he IS an onion freak!
