Steaming some shaved brussels sprouts** for dinner. I know that the description merely means they are thinly sliced but my brain very much prefers the notion of somebody with a whacking great cutthroat razor in one hand and a tiny sprout in the other, delicately trimming away any frayed spots on the leaf edges.

**Yes, there really is such a thing; saw them for the first time a few days ago and decided to grab a bag to try them out ... could have just munched them raw but in I'm in the mood for hot veggies tonight.
