Last night we had our first frost, and this morning I noticed a comment from Sheryl on facebook informing me my Brussels Sprouts were big enough to pick.

As I started to walk out to the garden I suddenly realized, I had no idea HOW TO PICK Brussels sprouts.  So what did I do?  I asked how I should pick them on facebook.

Well, after I saw the first comments I headed outside with a knife and cut off a few.

But now what?

If you have cooked Brussels sprouts before, please let me know if you have a good recipe.  I’d like to make some for Thanksgiving, so these will be my “practice sprouts.”

And thanks again for your help.  I may know how to grow stuff, but knowing what to do with it is something totally different.

P.S. After re-reading the facebook comments, some people are telling me I should have cut the entire stalk.  Is that right?
