Not even gonna go there...

 

[chanaud]

Yeah, I know that smell. It still doesn't stop me from eating the damn things.

 

[KillerMuffin]

Uh... no.

Here's a nice recipe though:

Preheat oven to 500.

Snap fresh, crisp asparagus in halves or thirds depending on comfort level and lay flat on a cookie sheet. Drizzle about 3 tbspns olive oil over the top and sprinkle on what amounts to 3 tspns of tarragon, basil, and rosemary in any combination. Toss gently, asparagus is delicate.

Roast close to the heating element for 10 minutes or until asparagus is cooked but still crisp.

That works great with fresh green beans too.

Thanks Killer Muffin, I'll try that recipe with green beans. It sounds pretty good.

When I think of asparagus though, I remember walking with my grandpa along the lane near his farm home, cutting and collecting asparagus where it grew amongst all the other wild grasses. I wish the good memory went beyond that though, because once it got into my grandmother's hands it quickly degenerated from a nice walk along the road at Grandpa's side, to being made to eat what must be one of the most disgusting plants ever cooked.

Yuck, I just HATE asparagus.

So I have no idea, Blue, what your pee might smell like after eating it, nor ever expect to know. It'd take a worldwide famine to reduce me to eating asparagus. Even then I'd pick roadkill first.
