Jack and the Brussel Stalk

Did you know Brussel sprouts grow on stalks? I'm not sure how I thought they grew before I received this in my farm basket, but it definitely wasn't this. Between this, the romanesco and the celery root, you would think my farm basket came from another planet.

To store brussel sprouts you simply pluck them off their stalk and place them in between paper towel in a plastic bag to be kept in the refrigerator until you're ready to use. I'm planning to roast these with a little salt and pepper, but here is an interesting recipe I saw on A Beautiful Mess recently.
