True Story-

Recently, (Outside of TV), I had been going a Farmers Mkt each week in Ocala.

I bought my Brusell sprouts from him, blanched and froze them... impressed that they were small and tender.

The next time I needed brussel Sprouts, I said to the Dunnellon farmer, "Why'd you let them get so big before picking them this time?"

He said, "Those are from Publix"

THAT'S IT FOR ME!!!
