Unreasonable obsession~

Brussels sprouts, cultivar unknown
Right now, for whatever reasons, I am obsessed with brussel sprouts and pickled beets.  (yes, I'm 'fixed'- no baby cravings here-)  Seriously, brussel sprouts everyday for lunch, yesterday with horseradish.  Cold, not hot.  Eaten with my special brussel-sprout fork.  (The fork is a cocktail fork- tiny and silver, just perfect for one sprout.  It makes me feel like a giant eating cabbages with a human fork). 

Seriously, I have no idea where this came from.  I disliked brussel sprouts as a kid, grew to like them as a grownup, but only recently developed this desire for cold brussel sprouts for lunch.  Pickled beets I've always loved- since I can't bum them off Charles's mom or Bebe all the time (queens of homemade beets) I have resorted to the jarred variety.  (the canned kind taste a bit funny)

My current top 10 food obsessions are:
1. Brussels sprouts (I may of mentioned this)
2. Pickled beets
3. Mansketti (which he hasn't made in forever! HINT HINT HINT)
4 Cranberries in oatmeal (whole, frozen.  they cook with the oatmeal but stay tart and crispy)
5. Constant comment tea
6. Oranges (they are goooood right now!)
7.  Coffee with nutmeg and honey
8. Garlic bread (always, my love, always)
9. Grits with hot sausage and hot sauce (so not on the diet- but weekend food!)
10.  Cherry Coke Zero or Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi (either one will do)

It must be seasonal, this food thing~
