Muskatnuss/ Nutmeg

Die angeschraffelte Nuss hatte ich ja schon bei einer Collage verarbeitet, die habe ich einfach passend zum Theam nun solo gezeigt;-) Schönen Dank, Tanja!

I like sprouts but only if they are young, small and sweet. They don't then need anything added (although I do think walnuts go well with them as is traditional in some families at Christmas.)

Walnuts sound good! I like sprouts only if they aren't overcooked.
In my childhood most vegetables came cooked to death in a thick floury sauce, it took some time until I could eat certain vegetables again;-)

We Brits get a bad reputation for overcooking the veg! But I have never come across it worse than in Spain! A favourite starter is cold mixed veg, that has already been cooked to death before leaving the bottling factory. Then it is re-heated for hours before let to get cold again and served. AAAAGGGHHHHHH!
I was luckier, my Mum knows how to cook and I learned from her. Veg needs to be 'al dente'.
