I plan my meals out every week and do most of my cooking on the weekend.  I find that this keeps me on track and I don’t have to make last minute meal decisions (those never go well).  This week I was craving roasted Brussels sprouts, maybe with some cauliflower.  I adore roasted Brussels sprouts, only roasted and they have to be fresh.  I was meeting my friend for an evening walk and only had a few minutes to run to the grocery store.  Guess what? They didn’t have any and I was LIVID! I do not like to change my meal plan and I really, really wanted Brussels sprouts.  Later when I was telling another friend about this very upsetting ordeal she busted into laughter.  “Why is this so funny?” I asked.  She said, “I love Brussels sprouts but I think you are the only person ever to say you were livid they didn’t have any.”  She was right and it was pretty funny. I’m pretty flexible in the summer and just plan my meals around what I find at the Farmer’s Market (the Downtown Willoughby one is awesome!)  I just need to adapt and overcome.  Maybe it’s a positive thing that I was craving that and not cake or cookies.  I opted for cabbage and carrots instead.  It was good but I still want my sprouts.
