You know how you see things all the time and don't think twice about them? Then one day you see it in a new light and think, "woah!" That was me with brussel sprouts at the Farmers Market on Saturday. (Yes, I know I told you it was a rainy day, but we were able to go!) We walked past this crazy looking plant and I did a double take. Sure enough. Brussel sprouts. I'd knew them to come from a plastic bag in the freezer section or be these cute little balls in the produce department. I've never considered what they look like in plant form. I guess I thought they must be like little heads of lettuce growing in tiny little rows in the field, but NO! Just look at that monstrosity!
Next step - venture out and actually find them in a field. Woah! Let the crazy continue!

haha! My mom put a stalk in a vase once (my stepdad HATED Brussel spouts), and then they proceeded to go on vacation for a week. Those things STUNK when they got home. :)
