Can anyone? > Not right now, but it will be in later. I have been in Europe several times during asparagus season, and it was often white. I had the impression that it was from Spain. I have seen white asparagus in stores around here, but it was always imported. The local farmers markets and produce stands sell only green. It was interesting to be in Germany during asparagus season because they really celebrated the stuff. Many restaurants had special asparagus menus, and they served huge portions of it. Heck, if you get a dish with asparagus here it is a side dish and a small one at that, 3-4 spears tops. At one restaurant in Bavaria my serving of asparagus was close to a pound. There was no way I could eat it all. |

I had white asparagus (the norm in mainland Europe) topped with foie gras poelé in a restaurant in Strasbourg before starting a biking trip in Alsace. Unfortunately, it wasn't on the menu a week later when we returned. |

I hear THAT! :-) Even if brewed the day before, but I usually make a fresh Potta every day, so... Coffee, caffeine is my fave morning DRUG!

Even Tim Horton's (the WORST tasting restaurant chain) tosses it after 20 minutes if it does not sell. Do you really leave coffee lying around exposed to oxygen the entire day? |

Hell, I have only seen here two or three times in my >life. I don't even know her married name or where she lives now. I was turned down for a visa to go from Japan to California for the summer in the 50s. I was so surprised and my father was really angry about it and phoned the US ambassador and asked him why. Apparently it seemed they didn't like the fact that at the English boarding school I attended we had mock elections, co-inciding with a UK national election. Two older girls had grabbed the positions to be the Con and Labour candidates, so I stood as a communist lol Didn't go down well in the 50s with a red under every bed. What is so stupid about these things is after my father spoke to the ambassador, I had my visa! Looking back, it was intriguing that even in those days, they knew that I had done that, wasn't even in Japan. |

And it's healthier! For me and the animals NOT killed to feed me! John! You idiot! >:-o That particular animal WAS killed to feed you and you just tossed it out. Shame on you! If you want to quit eating meat to save the animals like Bruce, go ahead. Nothing wrong with that if that's how you feel. Just don't buy any more meat. HOWEVER, tossing out perfectly good ham in your Ziplock bag is very sad indeed. You have dishonored that pig that died for your food. Once dead, you should have at least eaten it. That animal died for nothing. |

As every human should. Not only for all the livestock, but to stop the terrible practices of animal slaughter on a grand scale, which is destroying our planet! Damn! Bruce has protected you so often that you've turned in him. oh man! Animal "slaughter" is not destroying our planet. It's just destroying the animals in question for food. The ones that we eat and not throw away like you just did. |

And once you cook it, it can be refrozen and last a long time back in the freezer. Mine doesn't though. Once I open and cook a package of bacon (all of it at once), I never bother to freeze the leftovers. I'll eat it within a few days. The taste is too good NOT to eat it all up pronto. |

To be fair, Julie has told us many times that she stays up all night so naturally she sleeps much of the morning and even early afternoon. My daughter did that in her later teens and early 20's. Up all night then finally going to bed for sleep about 4am. When she lived here, I often layed in bed waiting for her to finish with the bathroom then go to sleep. Then I would get up. Like a "changing of the guards" thing. Now she is married with young childen that need to get up early for school. LOL to her. No doubt that was a major adjustment to her sleepy life. heheh |

Goes to bed late and doesn't consider rising before noon. I think it is bad for one to be so out of sync with the daylight hours, must surely have bad effects on the circadian rythm. My neighbour complained at a condo meeting about people smoking pot and the subsequent smell outside their units and when she finished I stood up and told everyone that I don't even smoke regular cigarettes (I felt since we are at the end of a long hallway it made it sound as if I was the smoker!) and that I was more concerned about hoarders (she is one) and possible fires ! |

Could also be laziness on the part of pescetarians that find it easier to claim to be a vegetarian than to explain the differences of types. |

I've known a number of people who call themselves vegetarian, but they do eat fish. |

Or... it could be that vegetarians have been divided into various subgroups, There are lacto vegetarians who are primarily vegetarian but eat dairy products. There are Ovo vegetarians, vegetarisn who eat eggs. Then there lacto-ovo vegetarians who eat dairy products and eggs, polo-vegetarians who eat chicken, pesco-vegetarians who eat fish. They have been classifying themselves this way for more than 50 years so it is a little disingenuous to start insisting now that vegetarians no meat or animal products at all. |

I don't think smokes realize how bad their habit smells to others. I don't find pot smoke to be anymore offensive than cigarette smoke. |

They always have the option of applying for immigration through the established process. What has been happening lately is that masses of them are just showing up uninvited and expected that if they show up they have to be allowed to stay. |

Even though I do love bacon, I normally only buy a package 1-3 times a year. Mostly in the summer for BLTs. I only buy one as the mood hits me...never a supply kept in freezer. My current package (in freezer), I got as a gift for Christmas. I'm saving it for June-July to use with local tomatoes. |
