When I was about 8-9, my parents had some asparagus growing along the west wall. I don't think they ever tried to get me to eat it. It's one of those "green" foods I don't like. Back then, I didn't even like tomatoes.

When I was in the Army, we got served lamb something or other. It was as tough as the boots I was wearing. Haven't tried it since.

This is our asparagus patch today, behind the fence in the corner, under last years sunflower crop. We leave them for the birds to eat all winter. A few tall stocks can be seen still standing. We should have asparagus coming up in April.
Don, if you will break the asparagus spears rather than cut them, they'll always leave the woody part on the plant. A master gardener taught that trick. And I never had to go back for a knife.

When I was in the Air Force - the lamb chops were tender, medium rare, and the mint jelly was just right. I was always told we ate better than the others, but this confirms it's.

Hey Mike !!!

You don't know what you have missed.
Lamb cooked properly is delicious or even incredible simply fantastic. Our side trip is to my DW's sisters place we are having a blast and the crown is flowing.

Cheers !!!

Dunner, when my ex cooked lamb it was as you described; when my DW cooks it it is way to succulent for anything but eating all of it. Depends on the way it is prepared.

I like asparagus way too much. I will probably put in an elevated asparagus garden this year.

Hmmm, maybe DW has an air force recipe book?

We were featured on a Shaw TV show about gardening and the greenhouse I built for my wife.

Hey let's not discount asparagus that is a wonderful veggie !!!!! You may go back to your planned disfunctions.

Before this goes too far Dennis - I'm not sure the Air Force ever served lamb chops or lamb of any kind. Just making the same point you and Jeff did. Lamb can be outstanding. Or like anything else - it can be burnt or otherwise poorly prepared, seasoned, etc.

This is why I'm having such a hard time dieting. I love to eat food, cook food, watch food shows, collect cookbooks, smell food cooking. You name it - if it's food - count me in. Dang. Ok - a thimble or two here and there.

I have already rearmed what 2 ounces of most proteins looks like - and can eyeball a cup of raw veggies and fruits and 1/2 cup when they're cooked.

As for the lamb - muddle eastern cooking has a real handle on it lamb and goat.

Yeah, but did they have adult supervision in the Air Force?

You expect an Army cook to know how to prepare lamb for hundreds of men and still get it tender enough?

Not yet but I think we have a day or two to figure it out though. It's the little one that starts the bark-a-thon when someone tries to use her street without stopping by to visit her.
