Grr. Why do people have to irk me when there's already another half foot of snow to deal with? First, the ex has started being predictably shifty about my previously all but booked vacation. Now the bitch upstairs called the landlord and said that we weren't parking correctly in the parking lot. (This is the same woman who left a note on my car when it was parked ON THE STREET last summer saying I was in her spot, and I should just ask the landlord.I've still never met her.)

I need yoga. Sorry for rantiness.

I grill aspsagus the same way and just eat it plain.

I used to hate most veggies, but I've developed a taste for almost all of them over the past 10 years.

Except asparagus. I may yet develop a taste for it, but it takes extraordinary garnishment to get me to eat asparagus. (Hollandaise sauce, for instance, which is not the healthiest of choices.)

Mmmm. Hollandaise sauce. DH made me steak Oscar last week. It was soooo good.

Teppy--sugar snap peas. Yummy with no garnish and not acidy.

I understand the veggie hate, I'll only eat raw tomatoes if they are in salsa. Otherwise no dice.

I love all vegetables except rutabagas and English peas. Even peas could probably be salvaged with hollandaise sauce. Rutabagas, nsm.

According to [link] (PDF file): One-half cup of green soybeans (edamame)count as 1 serving of vegetables or as 1 oz of lean meat.

Mmm, grilled asparagus.

And congratulations, vw, what a lovely e-mail.

(eta: you know what I do for a living? Type.)

Asparagus is the most meh of vegetables. Other veggies, I like or dislike. Asparagus I'm completely indifferent to. I'll eat it if it's put in front of me, but I can't work up a dredge of enthusiasm. I'd say it's the rice cake of vegetables, except I like rice cakes.

All you asparagus haters are crazy with a capital crazy. It's got a short season, but when it's in, it's the tastiest thing around.
