It's Funny Friday

ASPARAGUS?
Hi Everybear,  Happy Friday.

Now you may be wondering what the bear I can tell you about asparagus. Well, for one thing, it's good for you and it tastes good too.  But I have to tell you, we eat the stuff like some people drink water.  When I open the refrigerator this is what I always see...

a "bouquet" of asparagus.  When M&D lived in Hackettstown, NJ there was (is) a family owned produce farm where they bought all their veggies, Best's Fruit Farm,  Mrs. Best is an excellent cook and she told Mom to keep the asparagus in a glass of water in the fridge.  I think it helps keep it hydrated, and we can keep it like that for a whole week or more.  Mom just reaches in and grabs a handful, sometimes that is my job.

Recipe 

fresh asparagus
fresh garlic
extra virgin oil
Parmesan/Romano cheese
 Saute asparagus in olive oil, tossing gently until desired tenderness, add chopped garlic, keep tossing so garlic does not burn.  Remove from heat, sprinkle with Parmesan/Romano cheese.  Enjoy.
(Using fresh spinach instead is also very good.  Just make sure the spinach leaves are dry before putting them into the olive oil.)

Heaps of Hugs

"Okay, Mom, I'm gettin' the asparagus out of the 'fridge!"
"Mom?"
"Yes, Prudence?"
"I think we're turnin' green!"
