I noticed Trader Joe's has been carrying brussel sprouts quite a bit lately. I've been considering getting some and trying one of Alton Brown's recipes from Good Eats.

Also, I love fennel and have for years. Fennel bulbs, fennel fronds used like dill, fennel seeds, etc. But I like just about anything, including liqueurs, that has that fennel / anise / licorice type flavor.
