Out of This World Brussel Sprouts

[catjac1975]

I had my 3 grandsons over for dinner a while back. Made their favorite hamburger, with home made rolls and a variety of veggies to choose from. Made just a few brussels sprouts. Before I had finished dishing out all of their dinner the brussels sprouts were gone. I never thought they would eat them, much less devour them first. They all said,"We love brussel sprouts."

Black frying pan, olive oil, garlic, and just a tad of blackening so as not to be "burnt" as they would put it.Their Mom roasts them but, that takes too long for me. They love picking them too. The 4 year old just told me that he and his father were planning a greenhouse for their new house in the distant future. I expressed surprise that his Dad would want a greenhouse. "Oh, he doesn't, Grandma, but, I do." I told him I would always share mine with him for now.

He is so much like I was when little. He loves to make art, build art projects, cut, draw, glue tape...He is a collector of precious found objects. Rocks, feathers all manor of special sticks.He loves the garden. Planting, and picking are his favorites. He is also a gentle giant. You should see him right now playing with his baby brother. He rarely hurts him and takes a lot of baby abuse form him. So much fun.

What a sweet child. Give him an extra hug from me.

I think there is a very different bond between parents and grandparents.

I still say being a grandmother is the best thing I could be. In my next life I'm coming back as a grandmother and skip the parent things.
