From the bottom up? Heheh, that is weird. I actually take off like, an inch from the bottom of the ones I buy. The tips are the prize.

I really love asparagus but my wife drowns the asparagus in Cheddar cheese sauce. I really don't know why as asparagus is a real treat. It's funny how something one person enjoys isn't the same as anothers enjoy. Guess that's one of the odd things in life.

I agree oldbay. Just like about everything else people have different tastes in food. Among my closest friends I'm the only real veggie-lover. Growing up, my mother didn't have to hide them in my potatoes.

Oh my! That sounds VERY delicious. I'll try that next time I have chicken.

Seriously! I wish I'd read this before I started fixing tonight's dinner....
