After eating the waffffer thin mint, I presume?

Eaten by a bear (because if you have to die at least its a hell of a story)

Especially if Werner Herzog gets a hold of your footage.

I can't help but laugh when thinking of W. Herzog these days when some time after brushing off being hit by a stray air-rifle bullet ("It was not a significant bullet" went the quote at the time as he kept going with the interview he was doing) he pulls Joaquin Phoenix out of a car wreck. I suspect just close proximity to Werner will give you great stories to tell.

Those Herzog stories always amaze me. I don't know how the guy who made Stroszek has become this unflappable humanist saint.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I bought asparagus at the Farmer's market on Sunday that I need to cook tonight or tomorrow. How should I make it?

Roll it in olive oil, season it with salt and pepper, and then roast it until done, but not floppy. (400?) Melt half a stick of butter, add a lemon's worth of juice, and then add toasted, skinned, chopped hazelnuts. Pour this over the roasted asparagus. Serve.

I'm getting the pig!

Roasted asparagus!

Flat pan, drizzle asparagus with some extra-virgin olive oil, sprinkle with some course salt & bit of pepper, toss into the oven.

YUM!

Ooh, that does both of those sound good.

I grilled asparagus last night after marinating them in olive oil and lemon juice for 1/2 hour.

Those sound excellent, and I'm not even a huge fan of asparagus. Of course, there's not a lot that doesn't sound good when doused in lemon and butter.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Melt half a stick of butter, add a lemon's worth of juice, and then add toasted, skinned, chopped hazelnuts. Pour this over the roasted asparagus. Serve.

Holy yum.

You can also steam them and eat them with mayonnaise. If you're the kind of person who likes mayo.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Of course, there's not a lot that doesn't sound good when doused in lemon and butter.
