Asparagus makes urine smell strong because of the enzymes

Never overcook asparagus, say past 120 deg, you kill the food after
that temp.

Victor, obviously this idiot knows as little about cooking as he does about
spelling.  Please use your killfile :)

However, garlic juice is available bottled (you can find it with other
bottled extracts where the baking goods are).

I already plonked the fool, but it's pretty funny to think potheads with the
munchies would be interested in asparagus au gratin.  More like corn chips
and dip, don't you think? ;)

Jill, I can't drink any kind of alcohol (I know the "alcohol" gets burned of
in cooking, but even the smell or taste makes me sick).  So what could I
substitute in recipes calling for wine?

For recipes that call for red wine, try cider vinegar.  Doesn't work if the
recipe calls for a LOT of wine but for just a splash or two it's a good
substitute.

This is TOOOOO weird!!!  I *just* bookmarked this recipe last night.  I was
going to cook it last night too, but it's too hot.  This sounds excellent
for fall/winter months with beef or chicken!!!

This is what I found:

Extra special asparagus recipe with cheese sauce and cracker-crumb nut
layers.
 a.. 2 tablespoons butter
 b.. 1 teaspoon salt
 c.. 2 tablespoons flour
 d.. 2 cups milk
 e.. 1 cup shredded cheese
 f.. 1 1/2 cups cracker crumbs
 g.. 3/4 chopped walnuts
 h.. 1 to 1 1/2 pounds fresh trimmed asparagus, cooked, or thawed frozen
asparagus (10 ounces)

In a saucepan, melt butter; stir in flour and salt until smooth. Add milk
gradually and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until sauce is slightly
thickened. Add shredded cheese to the sauce. Combine cracker crumbs and
chopped walnuts. Into a buttered casserole, place a layer of asparagus, a
layer of cracker mixture and a layer of the sauce. Repeat layers, using
remaining ingredients. Bake at 375° oven until top is nicely browned, about
15 to 20 minutes.

I ended up doing the asparagus in white wine, lemon juice, olive oil, butter
and more butter w/fresh garlic, fresh basil and a wee bit of red pepper.  It
was yummy!!!

BTW, cats LOVE asparagus stalks!!!

What is plonking anyway? Sounds jiggy if you ask me! Maybe this is a

I love hush puppies!  Ever hear the legend of how they came about?

Some fishermen were on the banks of the Mississippi River, catching catfish.
Naturally, they had their hound-dogs with them.  They'd built a fire on the
bank and were frying up their catch in a cornmeal batter.  The dogs were
howling to get at the fish.  So one guy threw some of the batter into the
hot fat and fried it up; when the batter floated to the top of the fat, he
spooned it out and threw it to the dogs and called, "Hush! puppies!" :)

I don't add water to mine, just milk and a beaten egg, minced onion and
sometimes minced seeded jalapenos if I want them slightly spicy.  Mine also
are not "rolled" into balls; it is a lumpy batter dropped by teaspoonfuls
into hot fat.  They are done when they float to the top.

Over here, we actually have both!  I used to wear Huspuppies as a kid.  Now
they are only carried by specialty shoe stores, I think.  I never see them
anywhere else anyway.

The other kind, I don't particularly care for.  Whenever we get them with a
meal, I give them to DH, who slathers them with ketchup (or catsup) and
downs them quickly.  I complain about his over-abundant use of ketchup.  He
always says my cooking is great, and I ask, "How can you tell when you've
drowned everything with ketchup?" - he's even added it to chili!!!! Me on
the other hand, I don't like ketchup.  Don't care for tomatoes either
(despite having 2 huge tomato plants in my garden, with about 20-30 'maters
on each, still green but slowly turning yellow->orange->red).  Love tomato
soup, and spaghetti with meatsauce, however.  Does that make me wierd?

I bought a pair of Hushpuppy sandals some years ago on the recommendation of
my podiatrist. It is very comfortable and I am still
wearing them  even though them even though they are kind of worn out. One
time I was trying out shoes at a shoes store and one of the customers asked
for my sandals.

I also like tomatoes, but don't care of ketchup.

Catsup is mostly sugar. He's after the sugar.

An X-Girlfriend of mine, had a little sister who was adopted out of
Thialand. The little girl was very malnourished. She would eat catsup
from a bowl with a spoon. The doctor told the parents, just let her eat
what she wants, her body knows best.

Rob dislikes raw tomatoes, though he never picks them out of any salad I
stick them into.  However, he loves foods with cooked tomatoes in them.  I
love tomatoes, but feel that the only use for catsup is on junk food like
hot dogs.  I'll also use it on hash browns if sausage gravy is not
available, but usually I'll forgo the hash browns instead of using catsup on
them.

Cooked tomatoes has more lycopene than raw tomatoes. Lycopene may help
prevent prostate cancer.

I like fresh tomatoes on my breakfast sandwiches, and here a sandwich is
usually an open one, not two slices of bread with something in between.

My dad used to like tomato-and-onion salad and I bet DH would like it
too if I made some for him as he loves raw onion. The salad is basically
made out of chopped tomatoes, finely chopped onions, salt and either
black pepper or allspice (that's the pepper-like spice that isn't
actually pepper, right??).

That sounds lovely.  I'm getting some heirloom tomatoes soon, I think
