Are you tired of all the asparagus recipes this month?
Too bad.
I love it, and I wish I could always buy it locally (or grow it in my garden) all year long, not just the month of May.
The rest of the year I am stuck with the tough stalks from Peru. So embrace it and enjoy it. (and why does it make your pee smell so weird?).

Today's lunch is poached Jersey asparagus tossed with pistou (what the French call pesto). And to make it extra special, a fried egg on top of the ham.

Hope you have a wonderful Memorial day weekend Stacey.

And it makes your pee smell weird because it produces this sulfurous compound when it's metabolized!
