    Just a few weeks ago it was $2.99/lb and looking kind of poorly. Today
    at the grocery store it was $1.29/lb and looking great! So I got two
    bunches.

    They also had white asparagus and I still don't understand the big deal
    about that. It was $3.29/lb so I decided it's not that big a *deal*
    after all. LOL

    Christine Dabney should be in Memphis in about an hour. We're going to
    cook together. If she can get the Hi Speed internet connection to work
    from the Extended Stay Suite we'll be chatting and maybe posting while
    we wine and dine!

    I'll be preparing chicken breast halves stuffed with fresh mozzarella,
    lightly breaded then browned in olive oil then simmered in (okay, it's
    from a jar!) Classico tomato sauce and topped with fresh grated
    Parmesan. We'll have asparagus to go with it. Should be a fun night!

    Well the snow recided finally enough so I could get at and light up the
    grill without sitting in a mud puddle...First grilling of the season pork
    steak and asparagus...I did the asparagus my favorite way...drizzle them
    in oil and sprinkle well with salt, toss; then grill quick and hot (takes
    approx 4-6 mins to cook). The pork was just seasoned with salt and pepper
    and grilled as I'm trying to redefine what spices I use with pork...both
    the food and the grilling were great...nice to get outta the house into
    the warmer weather. Nice to go out in shirt sleeves approx 48F here.

    LOL I'm pretty sure she won't care what I wear, Andy 😉 Just left a

    Sorry, I'm wearing leggins and a tank top! It's in the 70's here. She
    hasn't called yet... hope she didn't hit bad weather. It's thundering and
    about to pour down rain here, dammit.

    She's wearing skin tight leggings and a knitted tank top. Want a
    pic? 😉

    Jill is now cooking chicken parmesan stuffed with mozzarella, and
    breaded.. We are chilling the champagne...
    She won't let me do anything. I told her that she is being mean to
    me.... and she agreed.

    Good on you. Best I've seen it yet here is $1.88 (from Mexico) and I've
    been buying it frequently at that price. Your chicken dish sounds good.
    Salad, too?

    Our asparagus is just starting to come up. Picked one yesterday. We
    get to pick for 2 weeks this year.

    I don't like salad and Christine decided she didn't want any. Along with
    the chicken & asparagus we had lots of snacky cheeses and mini loaves of
    crusty sweet bread which somehow didn't even get opened. The wine and
    champagne most definitely got opened! 😄

    I found asparagus at Wal Mart (cue evil empire music) for
    $.99 per pound. I'm saving it to make my Dad's soup for a
    couple of friends... :-)

    couple of friends... :-)

    I made the breaded chicken breasts stuffed with fresh mozz in a (gasp!)
    jarred tomato sauce and topped with freshly grated parmesan. Christine
    sauteed the asparagus in some olive oil. I was sorry I hadn't brought some
    garlic, I really thought about it but neglected to pick it up. Chris will
    tell you I don't eat a lot, especially not after I've been sipping wine and
    champagne. But I do hope she had a good time!

    It's the first time I've ever tasted real English cheddar, too. Not the
    dyed orangish-yellow stuff they sell as cheddar from Wisconsin (is there a
    law about that?! not that there's anything wrong with it). It was tasty!
    We just got to talking, fooling around on the computer, laughing a lot. I
    cooked the one dish, she cooked the asparagus. I was simply going to steam
    it except there was no steamer basket. The wine (I'll admit) got away from
    me which is why I took a taxi home. So it goes! Or went, as the case may
    be.
