Continuing Way off topic:
I think a few of us have read a few too many Dr. Seuss' books over the years!
Does anyone (besides Tom) know how Dr. Seuss got started in the book/word rhyming? I do (I think)

Re: Brussel sprouts(off topic)
Just another little fact on Dr. Suess..he also wrote under the pen name of LeSeig...which was his mothers last name backwards. Books like "I can Moo can you? ". and several more whose names are escaping me at this moment.
Glad you're all having a little fun with this..good brain candy!

Re: Brussel sprouts
Rollingpat, maybe it doesn't matter, but what size package of brussels sprouts did you use?
Dr. Seuss is fun. His rhymes make me smile too & brings back the memories of when my girls were toddlers.

It doesn't matter, you can use a whole box, 1/2 a bag or even fresh. Just adjust garlic and olive oil to your liking. Enjoy..

I remember being told at the schools during Dr. Seuss's B-day rememberances that he actually started the Rhyming books on a bet from a friend that he couldn't come up with 100 or so words that rhymed. So he made up nonsensical ones just to prove that friend wrong
