I'm trying to decide what to make for dinner. I should make something with asparagus. Roasted? In soup? In pasta?
But if the world doesn't end, I'm gonna need a note.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I vote with Consuela.
Man, I actually have a vegetable opinion that goes beyond "Ick."

Me too. I made some last night and will have some tonight too. Because I somehow restrained myself and didn't eat the whole bunch!

I haven't seen any asparagus in my grocery yet. I should check, but I'm still binging on winter vegetables, like the brussel sprouts I roasted and ate this weekend.

Roasted asparagus with pasta and olive oil sounds good. Perhaps I'll also toss in plenty of garlic, spinach, and some peas and prosciutto.

The Dana? I hear they were offering a deal.

Looks like the worst of it is missing us.
Stupid kids in the laplanes tonight. Actually doing laps, but also goofing around and drifting into my lane. I clobbered him several times. AND THEN he got out of the lane, someone else got in, he got BACK IN, started circle swim with her, BUT DIDN'T TELL ME. And so she and I collided. If I get a black eye, next time kid is in my lane, I'm going to ask the guards to boot him or something. He was just generally a menace.
The guy in the lane had a very detailed, very nice Hubble Telescope tattoo on his bicep. I asked if he worked with it and "No, I just think it is the coolest thing ever." "I work for Hubble." "NO WAY!!!"

Hivemind cooking question:
How long should I roast brussel sprouts? I know to peel off the icky leaves and at least cut them in half and coat them with olive oil and salt and pepper. But I don't know what to set the oven on and how long to roast them.

400 degrees, about 20 minutes, but check them after 15.
