( I never knew asparagus, in the produce world, was known as grass until a delivery was made to the restaurant, and the vendor said " one case of grass". I said " Excuse me?",thinking of a different kind of grass that my friends were indulging in. He explained, and calm prevailed.)katrinahttp://shesinthekitchen.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5850166433308945299.post-86941688108180620102011-02-09T15:54:47.137-08:002011-02-09T15:54:47.137-08:00Just brought home some asparagus for tonight and t...Just brought home some asparagus for tonight and this has me wanting it now for a late lunch instead.
