on 12/18/2008 hey if you think i should try it and see if it comes out just right and maybe u guys can realize what cooking is all about.... brussel sprouts may be yucky for you all but i think it is a good veggie to try it in the microwave oven. as my mother would say if you don't like the taste of it then try to hold your nose to like them!

on 10/14/2008 What a dumb site. Those are not steps, they are (some of them) options. Can you clarify?
