Bean sprout game!

Who wants to play fun game which isn’t that fun and also isn’t really a game? You do!

Ok so I’m looking at the back of a bag of bean sprouts which has many delightful and delicious serving suggestions. In fact, in a fun font it says the following: Energize your menu with these delicious suggestions!

Guess which are the real suggestions and which are the ones I made up?

Flavorful side dish: Stir fry sprouts with onions, mushrooms, zucchini and buttons.

Add to omelettes.

Light and satisfying: Stir fry sprouts with tofu cubes and soy sauce.

Put under pillow and wait for the sprout fairy.

Use in meatloaf.

Nutritious crunch: Add raw sprouts to salads and sandwiches.

Less nutritious crunch: Add raw sprouts to butter.

Refreshing: Put chilled sprouts in sleeve to keep hands cool.

Toss with sesame seeds.

Hang bag of sprouts from string in the yard and take turns hitting it with baseball bat. Whoever hits the bag hard enough to open it wins bag of sprouts!

The Fuji Favorite: Microwave sprouts for 1 to 1/2 minutes then top with warm marinara or au gratin sauce.

    OK, I know the answer to this! You made them all up except for “Put under pillow and wait for the sprout fairy”

    I used to do that all the time and I got some great stuff! One time I got a new 10 speed bike! It was a little uncomfortable waking up with a big bike under my pillow, but I wasn't complaining.

    BTW about your hearing… there are two things I'm glad I never did – start smoking and go to a lot of loud concerts. As a result, I can still hear and I can still breathe. I consider both fairly important to living a happy life.

    When are you coming back east, Miss R? We all want you back here, but I hope you're staying for Yami's house warming!!

    Use as a delicious and healthy alternative to chocolate chips in cookie mix.

    I say these are made up:
    Put under pillow and wait for the sprout fairy.
    Use in meatloaf.
    Less nutritious crunch: Add raw sprouts to butter.
    Refreshing: Put chilled sprouts in sleeve to keep hands cool.
    Hang bag of sprouts from string in the yard and take turns hitting it with baseball bat. Whoever hits the bag hard enough to open it wins bag of sprouts!
