What happens when a professional chef turns into a gardening fanatic? Can 'homemaker' be a political statement? How self-sufficient can a family be on one-third of an acre in suburban Seattle? Where is the right balance between living cheap and living well? Can one ever have too many rutabagas? How much lawn do growing kids really need when there are fruit trees to be planted?

Can you post the recipe for the Brussel Sprouts with Bourbon Mustard Sauce? They’re our favourite veg around here and those look delicious!!
Thanks Misty – It’s basically the same as the technique demo’d here: http://youtu.be/ESU-oDyIbSg except that in stead of *just* apple cider vinegar I mix up a couple tablespoons apple cider vin, a couple tablespoons of bourbon, a tablespoon or so of dijon (you can use grain mustard too) and another of honey. Taste the sauce – it should be kind of like pungent, drunk honey-mustard sauce. :) You should like the flavor, but it should be fairly strong since it’s going to coat all those sprouts. I add the sauce at the same place I added the vinegar in the video, and simmer everything together for a minute. The sauce tends to thicken and coat the sprouts when it hits the hot skillet. Let me know if you need more. Thanks!
