Two hurricanes means my and son’s cars are both down for repairs, there’s no easy way to get to a supermarket, so I’m pretty much living on granola and frozen burritos… But damned if I didn’t manage a shopping trip on the way home the other night and splurged on Brussels sprouts, strawberries, cat litter, and whatever else I could manage to carry home on the bus.
Tonight, it’s Brussels sprouts—probably the whole damned pound of them—halved and sautéed in olive oil with dried cranberries and walnuts, then a big splash of rasperry-walnut vinaigrette until it’s sticky. It’s earthy, sweet, tart, and and apparently something my soul requires after this long drought. For some reason (malnutrition? 
), this is a dish I often crave. Even my daughter has threatened to arm wrestle me for the last few bites.
And a couple giant strawberries for dessert. Yum!!
