Three overgrown herbs in my garden threatened some of my other plants, in direct violation of the Garden Wars treaty. From left to right; oregano, bay leaf, and sage all received major prunage to keep the peace. Botanical crisis averted. Luckily, there’s still plenty of fresh foliage for any recipe I might dream up. To find out what happens with all of these herbaceous branches, tune into RVAfoodie.com.
Can you see the brussel’s sprouts on this plant? It’s not the most romantic creation story, and maybe it explains the flavor of these mini cabbages, but brussel’s sprouts are born in their mommy’s armpits. And that’s where they grow up until they’re ripe and twisted loose for someone’s supper. These have a ways to go, but can you see the little buggers? I prefer to half’em, briefly steam’em, and then caramelize’em on the grill with a tangy sauce.
