No, the title was not an exclamation of frustration....it's something I tried recently in the kitchen. This was really easy and compared to the pricey alternative I recommend you try it if you are into asparagus. I boiled fresh asparagus for 2 minutes and dropped it into ice water to keep it from cooking any longer. Next I trimmed the spears to fit a jar that used to house sliced jalapenos. I took the peppers out and tossed them into a zip lock bag. The juice remained in the jar and I put the asparagus in to marinate for 24 hrs. I LOVE THIS! It wasn't hot like jalapenos, but had a very wonderful flavor like the sweet cherry peppers that are pickled.
Now this next paragraph might offend some of you, so accept my apology now if that's the case. Have any of you ever heard that asparagus makes your urine smell funny? I learned this quite by accident playing a board game with card club friends and I truly thought they were telling me a big lie. Turns out I've heard it from several others now that I'm bold enough to ask. I can't say that I've noticed any side effects, but it's something to think about!
I'm going to leave you with some of my favorite quotes from my preschool students today. If this doesn't make you smile, nothing will.
Go to comments to see the quotes, sorry they would not post on this page?!?
