RE: The Thread!!!
So considering what Mr. Gates has done for Windows and computers, what does this say about the agricultural revolution he wants to lead in Africa?

I also lack the taste gene but have the smell gene. And grilled is the only way I eat asparagus.

RE: The Thread!!!
I'll have to give steamed a go. I've grilled it and it is great that way. Last night I blanched them and then sauteed in garlic and butter.ORIGINAL: fabertong
Steamed(but still crunchy) served with a soft-poached egg..........alternatively......Grilled.....then cover in Extra-virgin Olive oil......and sprinkle over some fresh Parmesan.....Aparagus can be difficult to marry with wine......maybe a fresh Sauvignon Blanc........or more rustic.....a Rose' the south of France is littered with many good ones....Yum......I'll be over later......ORIGINAL: niceguy2005
Anyone know a good recipe for asparagus?

After last night I've come to the conclusion that blanching is a must.
As far wine it was red and from Spain. The variety I'm uncertain of.

You don't have to blanch if you grill them. Turn the heat low and leave them for 20 minutes or so...until they are as crispy as you like.

Better, you will have to renew your licence to buy those each year.

I'd been tracking this puppy from the surface combat we had at Marcus Island. Most of Dad's e-mails to me nowadays include one obscenity or another[;)]

Next day I managed to attack the port and get a bomb hit - AMMO EXPLOSION on Lex too. Still no sink of her sinking.
I am conducting a sneaky/risky operation with my remnant KB. They will leave Tokyo soon for Mariana's and then east to Wake to conduct a hopeful surprise attack on the place.

Question: so at what point does "Oil prices hit a new high" stop being news? There has been an article on that every day for at least the last three months. [8|] Now, "Oil prices decline"...THAT would be news...and happy news at that.
It stops being news when it is no longer the number one factor impacting the economy. It could be news for quite a while. [8|]

He's being sneaky, and just pointing to another online host. [;)]
Bruce, you could probably upload your images to someplace like image shack, and then post links to them.
