What made me even happier was that DH actually ate a nice spoonful of healthy wild/brown rice salad! Tzatziki sauce right above the salad then all the Souvlaki accompaniments. Top picture was the chicken - I unskewered all of it for ease in eating. We have enough for another meal!

Comments (6)icekream - Good to hear of your harvest, nothing beats that first meal of fresh asparagus. I have to admit that I do not know that much about the asparagus plants' growing and spreading habits. I believe that established bed has several very large plants as the spears sprout in obvious concentrations. Plants were originally spaced when planted but there is no organization anymore. The bed has probably doubled in square footage over the years due to spreading plants, and I noticed this year that spears are coming up in the lawn edge now. Every year I also see a few tiny, wispy little spikes from new plants that must be starting from fallen seed. I guess my point is that other than topping and mulching for winter, weed control once or twice a year, and occasional fertilizing once or twice a year, the bed has been pretty much worry-free. I have spent more time on harvesting over the years than on maintenance. :) Harvested four times now, have been eating a LOT of asparagus and have given a bunch away. Have started harvesting from the other old bed as well, but still nothing showing in the highway ditches yet. They will sprout soon. "I planted them about 1.5 foot apart and just wonder if I would ever have to divide them up." - I wouldn't bother worrying about it, going to be a long time before that is an issue, if ever. Enjoy your crop! -Tom...See Morepatti skipped out for dinner: what's for dinner
Comments (18)I'm back from dinner. It was great visiting with our snowbird friends and we talked for over two hours. We were neighbors when we both lived in the boonies and they moved back to Ohio shortly after we moved. We went on a cruise together with others from the neighborhood and had so much fun with them once. So now we e-mail and get together once a year :-( Dinner--not so good. I ordered the fettucini alfredo with bacon-wrapped sea scallops. The salad that came with it was very good,the scallops cooked just right but the alfredo was disappointing, to say the least. It was a big plate of angel hair pasta with a huge glob of alfredo sauce out of a jar. Ick, ick, ick! What could be easier than alfredo sauce? It's just a little butter, cream, garlic and lots of parmesan. They had little rolls that came with the salad that looked a little like those biscuits at Red Lobster, but were floury and dry. Now I remember why we don't like to eat out. Harry had fried oysters, baked sweet potato and hush puppies. He said on the way home it wasn't very good, but if it's dinner time I swear that man would eat plastic! Guess we won't be eating there again any time soon!...See MoreWhat's for Dinner, Wednesday?
Comments (14)Monica, your salmon sounds absolutely delicious!!! Summershine, that is one of my very favourite comfort foods. We love meatloaf with either mashed or scalloped potatoes. Like you, we're frigid, here in Ontario Shirley, here is the broccoli soup that we love. Ghoghunter posted it a few years ago. My changes are in brackets. Broccoli-Cheese Soup 1 tablespoon butter, melted 1/2 medium onion, chopped 1/4 cup melted butter 1/4 cup flour 2 cups half-and-half (or 1 cup milk and 1 cup half-and-half) 2 cups chicken stock 1/2 pound fresh broccoli 1 cup carrots, julienned salt and pepper, to taste 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 8 ounces grated sharp cheddar cheese (I used much less) Saute onion in butter. Set aside. Cook melted butter and flour using a whisk over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Stir constantly and slowly add the half-and-half and milk,then the chicken stock whisking all the time. Simmer for a few minutes. Add the broccoli, carrots and onions. Cook over low heat until the veggies are tender for 20-25 minutes. Add salt and pepper. The soup should be thickened by now. Pour in batches into blender and puree (or use an immersion blender). Return to pot over low heat and add the grated cheese; stir until well blended. Stir in the nutmeg and serve...See Moreediej1209 AL Zn 7
