Don't feed your horses - Brussel Sprouts!

[Chief Stipe]

I know this isn't exactly about racing but....  I went grocery shopping this morning - second day in a row.  Miss the social interaction and had a bunch of bananas sitting on top of my trolley - apparently that's a signal.  ?  My neighbour dropped off a whole lot of field mushrooms from his dairy farm so I needed cream for the sauce and soup.  There were no eggs at all on the shelves - maybe that is a silent protest from the chickens who have had a lifetime of lockdown!

Anyway I had this craving earlier in the week for brussel sprouts.  Found them in the supermarket - $10.49 per kg!!!!!  Dearer than Pork!  The prepacked ones - were $15.11 per kg!  Fresh pre-packed chicken is cheaper!  That's about a $1 to put each sprout in a plastic bag.

No.  I'll try organic next and then the lady finger variety.

If I have to keep it up....the supermarket visits I'll take some plastic ones.
