A Yellow orchids from Merle and Ferdie, July 2014. (C) Likeitiz
I threw out the last faded flower from the orchid plant my sister-in-law, Merle, and her hubby, Ferdie, had sent us sometime late in July. Yes, they bloomed and kept giving new ones until recently. Almost 4 months of cheer in my kitchen. I wonder if they’re headed for their winter slumber.

For the meantime, I have replaced them with something not quite blooms by definition. They will grace my kitchen until this coming Thursday, when we will turn them into a much awaited side dish for our turkey. I found them today at our Sunday Farmers’ Market.

Well its interesting to see Brussels in a vase, in fact I’d rather see them than eat them but I’ll choose the orchid any day!

Hahaha! The vendor at the Farmers’ Market told me to let the stem sit on some water and it should stay fresh until we cook it on Thursday.
