Thirsty Thursday & Hungry Hearts~ Going Home

Welcome to Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts, an original weekly meme hosted by Lexxie at (un)Conventional Bookviews. The idea of this feature is to share a quote with food or drinks that showed up in a recent read, as well as if it’s something you think you’d like or not.

This week I am featuring Going Home by Nora Roberts. This is a collection of 3 short novels and the scene I chose is from the third story, Mind Over Matter {pg. 322}.

“‘Get that for me, will you?’ Clarissa cast an anxious glance at the kitchen. ‘I really should check the brussels sprouts.’
‘Brussels sprouts?’ A.J. could only grimace as Clarissa disappeared into the kitchen. ‘Bad enough I have to eat the meat loaf, but brussels sprouts. I should have had the hamburger.’ When she opened the door her brows were already lowered.
‘You look thrilled to see me.’One hand still on the knob, she stared at David. ‘What are you doing here?’
‘Having dinner.’ Without waiting for an invitation, David stepped forward and stood with her in the open doorway. ‘You’re tall. Even without your shoes.'”

Do you like brussels sprouts? I didn’t as a kid but I love them now, especially roasted with olive oil and garlic.
