You really should not post when drunk and/or on drugs - I think that
should be "you know how to snap off the stems of asparagus" instead of
what you wrote above.

Did you even read what was at the posted link? I think not as it is not
a cookbook or a blog.

It is not on foodtv or in any way related to foodtv.

I think "Kitty" is either Jill playing sockpuppet or one of Lucas's
entourage. Seems to me that it's a waste of bandwidth to engage in
conversation with him or her in either case.

It's certainly idle speculation, and who really knows, but since
"Ailurophile" just means "cat lover", I suspect Cybercat. She has used
that server in the past. Then again, it could be Greg spoofing
Cybercat, but it just wasn't that kind of nasty.

frankly, i don't understand the willingness of people here to assume sock
puppetry. i think if cyber wanted to give jill a boatload of shit she
would do so directly. i agree that it's too subtle for morrow.

i think it's just from another county completely, who is struck by jill's
generosity and greatness of spirit.

your pal,

Fat or skinny?

I thought pencil asparagus were best but the regular have more flavor.

I've always chosen the fat stalks and like them the best. It's interesting
that McGee says he had less issue with fiber in the fat stalks.

Janet,

I don't mind asparagus outer threads (softer after cooking) with a sharp
knife, any more than I mind raw outer celery threads. If that makes a lick
o' sense!

Best,

Andy
