These are kind of like our favorite vegetable dish (mandatory for Thanksgiving and Christmas). Bacon cut into small squares, brussel sprouts sauteed in a frying pan until the brussel sprouts look a lot like the ones in the pictures linked in this thread. A little bit of chicken broth to get the dark bits off the bottom of the frying pan and to soften the b. sprouts to perfection. Some pepper, kosher salt and a splash of balsamic vinegar and reduce until any liquid is gone. Then we make a pretty swirly design once they're in the serving bowl with a little balsamic reduction. There's never one brussel sprout left. Ever. So, I'd definitely just add some toothpicks and call 'em appetizers. These look pretty, but labor intensive.

Sounds like I've got a new recipe to try. I love trying new recipes for brussel sprouts and asparagus.

Ohhhh I have the BEST asparagus recipe!

Trim the spears and then roll them in some olive oil - sprinkle them with kosher salt and pepper. Broil the spears for about 6 minutes, or until they're mostly tender; turn them once in the process - they're best when you let the tips get a little bit brown.

Sauce:
1 Tablespoon Lemon juice, 1 teaspoon tarragon, 1/4 teaspoon dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon olive oil and a minced shallot (if you're being fancy)

Whisk together the lemon juice, shallot, tarragon, mustard, and olive oil in a small bowl; season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer the asparagus to a serving platter and drizzle the dressing overtop.
