i am having pierogies and asparagus. I was thinking what kind of sauces do you guys like on asparagus, assuming you like aspargus. sometimes it seems so bland.

I love asparagus. Usually I eat it with lots of butter, salt & pepper. Creamy sauces go well with asparagus though. Hollandaise sauce is really good, but I have not learned to make it yet. I do know how to make a really easy cream sauce. Take some dice onion and saute it until soft, then toss in some minced garlic. Then add a half a block of cream cheese or so, and then milk to the right consistency. Sorry, I don't really measure when making this. It's simple, tasty and tastes good on a lot of things besides asparagus.
I'll have to find the recipe for an asparagus casserole I like later.

Have you tried roasted asparagus? A dry cooking method will give it a meatier flavor than wet cooking methods, which bring out the green flavors.

Last night I finally tried Viva la Waffle. It's this waffle sandwich truck in town, and I wanted to know what all the fuss was about. Well, I ordered The Roscoe--a piece of fried chicken drizzled with spicy honey and wrapped in a waffle. I wish they hadn't wrapped it up with paper, because it made the waffle a bit soggy on the bottom. Otherwise, OM NOM NOM. I will definitely be going back.

Wait, what?
Does that mean that in Canada, RC Cola doesn't refresh, revive and renew? That could really get to me.

and he has to enforce those stupid laws too. cruel cruel irony
Up until a year or two ago it was illegal to add caffeine to any soft drink that wasn't dark. The law was lifted, but soft drink companies still don't produce non-cola caffeinated soft drinks (that aren't energy drinks).

I don't think RC Cola has ever been sold in Canada, but I could be wrong. It's never been sold anywhere near me anyway.
I live in Ohio and most of the RC Cola I can buy here is imported from Canada, as it's made from real sugar. So yes... you can get it in Canada. I think you just need to live by the border.
Just got done testing a brownie recipe so I can make them for some folks at the hospital I volunteer at. I didn't have enough baking soda, so they came out thick and heavy like cake... but otherwise they taste fine.

Yup, one is babybel, the other is white cheddar, then there's some Heini's raw milk cheddar, and some Ballyshannon. I love cheese.

oh man i go through like a bag of onions a week. I use them a lot.
You know... Louisiana is REALLY not that far away from Georgia...
Made awsome Bolognese.Started early in the morning and let it cook on low flame for almost 7 hours.
That law got repealed last year.
Nevermind, you knew that. I should read the whole page before I post a response.

I think tomorrow i am going to try my hand at hollandaise sauce. Here's hoping it works...
Well the verdict is in and I have to say it turned out.. pretty good. If I ever endeavor to make it again I am investing in a higher quality butter. That walmart brand crap is well crap.But at least it turned into sauce.
So what do you guys think about tobasco sauce? Like it? hate it? how do you use it?
