Are they French Fries or Cancer-Blocking Sprouts?

I've never watched this show but these sprouts were AMAZING at dinner tonight! So easy and so yummy!

My First Aurora

My boys brought back a special friend from the Salt Fork State Park gift shop this afternoon - my very first Raggedy from the new manufacturer, Aurora. I had stayed behind to replace the thermostat (twelve hours after dealing with plumbing issues) and consider this cute, little fellow the perfect "payment" for my handyman skills.
