Zoooooooo!!!!!!!!

Miss kniblet called last night with news that made me very happy. When we go to Chicago in March she's got a behind the scenes tour of Lincoln Park Zoo scheduled! Yay! Her friend Dominic is a vet there. kniblet must really love me since she doesn't care for zoos. :) In fact, she said that Dominic asked her if she was going to just drop me off. LOL.
But, as payback for making her go to a zoo, she's going to make me eat brussel sprouts. I've never in my life ever eaten a brussel sprout so I don't know if that's a bad thing or not. dibsy was apparently quite amused that I'd never tried them. Heck, I didn't think I'd ever even seen one live and in person until hellbob reminded me that chebutykin cooked them once when she was living here.

I'd eat liver for a behind-the-scenes tour of the LP zoo, and I HATE liver. I also am not fond of brusselssprouts, but they're fairly innocuous.

One of the things I really miss about Chicago? I lived in Lincoln Park, and the damned zoo is open all the time. I would walk thru it on my way to work. Nothing like seeing seals frolicking at 8 am to make your day a little brighter!

I have never actually eaten brussel sprouts either!

Would it help if I said we were going to cook them with bacon and chestnuts?

Well here's a little something extra to brighten your day.

I've said this many times, in fact probably every time that brussel sprouts have been mentioned since the sixteen years ago that I last ate them.

The last time that I ate brussel sprouts, I was nursing and they gave my baby gas. She cried most of the night, I have not since touched a brussel sprout.

I love brussel sprouts! Only did I love them when I was an adult, though, because my mom used to over cook them so that they were totally devoid of all flavor.
