I will try this tonight, as well. My husbands claims to be a die-hard sprout hater ... we'll see! Thanks.

I agree with all the gas cooking comments! I have added gas lines to my last 2 houes so I could be "cookin' with gas now" as the old saying goes. I have a dual-fuel range with the great gas cook top and the electric oven for even baking with the warming drawer in the bottom section. I cannot tell you how great it is to have all this in one unit! It was not terribly $$$. But as a serious cook, I recognize the grief of losing a favorite kitchen item. I miss an old skillet that disappeared several years ago ... I STILL miss it!

I must admit that i remeber almost all of these foods, but honestly don't miss any of them! Charlie Chips in the can delivered to your front door was THE BEST. Thye may be available some places, but they are definitely not the same chip. they are not any good anymore. That is my reminiscence.

Sorry to be a novice, but what is a "grease truck?" As a student at The University Of Tennessee, we had "deli trucks" that came by the dorm for our 10PM study fix. I beleive this is where the Freshmen 15 came from! Grease trucks sound better than a 3AM trip to Krystal.
Cook the Book: 'Panini Express'
Roasted red pepper, grilled eggplant and portobella with a little thinly sliced red onion, fresh baby spinach, pesto and sliced tomato on ciabiatta roll. Lightly brush the exterior with pesto prior to putting in the panini press.
Sack Lunch: Black Beans and Rice
Definitely cook the rice seperate from the beans, then add. I like some "juice" for lack of a better term with my beans and rice, so I do not drain all the cooking liquid. We only use brown rice and it is a definitely wonderful meal and great leftovers! This with grilled vegetable burrito or quesadilla is so good together. Think I will cook a pot of beans and warm up the grill tonight!

I roast mine in a hot oven also, but I'd love to try the addition of balsamic. I will definitely make this. A sprinkle of parm at the end can only add to the goodness!

I have to agree with KashaKnish and I too never use a cast iron skillet. But, what i do is, mix baby carrots with the brussel sprouts in a big bowl, with olive oil, coarse ground salt and fresh ground pepper, lay them on a cookie sheet or in a baking dish and roast them at 400° for 30-35 minutes. The carrot turn out so sweet and the brussel sprouts are just yummy!!!

This recipe didn't do anything for me. Maybe because I didn't use a cast-iron skillet? In any case, it wasn't any better than my usual (easier) method of cut sprouts in half, toss with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and roast at whatever temp the main dish calls for, stirring occasionally, until tender.

I loooove brussels sprouts! I saw some nice ones in whole foods the other day, and this recipe is reason enough to get some.

It's not really the point of liking gas over electric (which I do), but it's kinda like the rice cooker. It was the first new appliance I ever bought. All others were ones that had conveyed with houses at closing. The new gas range just doesn't have all the features the old one did. I've used gas before in a restaurant. The range sucked, and we only had 3 burners out of 8 that worked properly. I'm sure it was a maintenance issue.

Does anyone remember the little potato chips that came in a box? They looked like little uninflated balloons. They were really crispy, and it seems like there was a hot air balloon on the box. They were always near the Bugles. They kind of tasted like Munchos. I have been thinking about these for years.

Had to join up just to add this comment: I totally miss Fizzies, the fruity tablets that you dropped in cold water to make instant carbonated beverages. The chemists couldn't get it to work or taste quite the same after cyclamates were banned in 1969. Although is supposedly reformulated good as new in 2006. http://www.oldtimecandy.com/fizzies.htm

Sunshine Hydroxy Cookies! They were much better than Oreos for me. Well, OK ... maybe my palate has changed, and but now I will never know. I would still love to get my hands on some of those cookies. I haven't been able to find them in eons. Probably too many dreaded trans-fats. Such a bummer ...

@dmg924
You know, to this day, I never got RU Grill to deliver a fresh Fat Sandwich to my door. Not like a special trip out to the grease trucks isn't great and all, but the idea of a Fat Sandwich transported to you, instead is tempting.
You're making me hungry, I haven't had a Fat Sandwich in ages.
