(Insanity as in asparagus.) As I was working in the garden this weekend — planting almost the remainder of the seeds — it occurred to me that the date was June 5th. Or 6th. I’m still not sure of the date because Charlie was using my watch this weekend to referee a soccer game [...] 
And Asparagus Stalks All Over the Messy Row. Mary, Mary would have a hard time with this stage of the garden. Let me illustrate: 9 am: 4 pm: And finally, at 9 pm, right before I picked it: And, no, I didn’t touch the ruler all day. Isn’t that amazing? I [...] 
Well, it’s here. Or at least we think it’s here. (Spring.) Based on the air quality today, however, my guess would be that we pretty much are skipping Spring and heading straight to Humidity. After a long winter, I’ll try my best not to complain. It’s just that my hair is… It’s just that my [...] 
This is Minnesota, folks. …Despite those 70 degree October temperatures that somehow, unbelievably, made it in to early November. We reveled in it. We wore flip-flops in November! The decadence. The sheer thrill! It’s basically what every other state in the nation gets to do on a regular basis, except us. I bet they [...] In Minnesota, anything is possible. Anything with the weather, that is. On Saturday, I laid in bed, reading, working on my computer, happy. The weather map showed a great big sunshine with a high of 83. Not sure why that was, because out my window it was windy, cold, and 48 degrees. And then, in [...] For the uninitiated, this is better known as: Stage Three. “Dave,” I ask, “Is there anyone you want to brown-nose at the office?” “No, not really.” “Charlie. Do your teachers want more asparagus?” “No, I don’t think so.” “Morgan?” “NO MOM!” I rack my brain… Who has told me they would do anything for [...] So, I had bookclub on Monday this week. Didn’t prepare ahead and have Meatless Monday on Sunday. Didn’t cook meatless for my family before I left. Didn’t do much of anything, really. Except have a rotten, horrible day. I can’t remember everything that happened, but Monday was bad, bad, bad. I was late to [...] Morel Mushroom and Asparagus Risotto If you haven’t read the Morel post from yesterday, please do. It gives background information necessary for truly understanding the nature of this very special Meatless Monday meal. No, I’m not talking about the asparagus, that I’m ready to plow under. I’m talking, of course, about the two-year wait for [...] Perfect fast lunch for a Meatless Monday Tastes better than fresh hollandaise, I swear. Cook a few spears of fresh asparagus in water like I show you in my first asparagus post. Gently fry (not like me with my huge freaking bubbles in the whites) one or two fresh eggs (rub the feathers [...] Burn ‘em right in place… Don’t get me wrong. I’m not actually endorsing this method. I’m simply stating that it is a very good way to rid yourself of a very massive amount of dead asparagus tops in short order. No cutting. No grunting No hauling. Perfect for me. You might want to [...] |
