So, where do you stand on thin vs fat asparagus? I quoted a cooking show to Mom once: "They say fat asparagus taste just like thin asparagus" and Mom snapped, "'They' are WRONG."
Fat is great if it's not tough and thready. Thin is crisper and greener tasting but not as remarkable. White can be wonderful, too, unless it's from a can.
It's a journal, a scrapbook, a record of my kid growing up. It's about food, it's about the pleasures of gardening. It's where I wear my heart on my sleeve, play with words and rail at the world. It's where I muse, and where I indulge my inner magpie. I have one delightful lonely cat and not enough time to read.

Occasionally, I will link to a book (or something) on Amazon. If I do so, and if you click, and if you then buy something, I might get a commission because as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. In point of fact, I haven't earned any commissions in years, but I do like to provide the links so you know what I'm talking about.
