'x'? was: Wine Glazed Brussel Sprouts

[Guest guest]

Hi Donna. i have made brussels sprouts many

times [i love them], and this recipe sounds

wonderful. i bet folks that don't really care for the

cabbagie taste will enjoy the flavor this sauce

imparts. But i was wondering why the 'x' cut?

i have seen that before in other b.sprouts recipes,

but never knew why it was done. *lol* Thanks.

obtain imperishable happiness.Ê Man becomes that of

which he thinks.
