Smelly Pee??

My favorite part of college life is getting to buy my own groceries.  I can choose to eat WHATEVER I want.  A blessing and a curse at the same time.  I am pretty good about eating all my fruits and vegetables and come close to death when I don't have fresh, ripe, bananas in a bowl on the counter.  Ask my roommates.  I eat at least one a day.  Sometimes I eat one for breakfast and one for a late night snack with peanut butter.  Try it.  Love it.


(The only acceptable PB to use is JIF.  NO EXCEPTIONS.)


Well two days ago I went to the store and was going through the produce section when I saw some bright green, asparagus just calling my name.  I've had asparagus once...at band camp.  And it was delicious.  So when I saw that it was on sale I couldn't resist and bought a bunch.

(I have heard asparagus makes your pee smell funny...hence the title)


I had bought a bunch about a year ago but forgot about it and it went bad before I could cook it.  This time I was determined to cook my asparagus before it rotted!  So yesterday I got online to find a recipe.  I ended up coating them with olive oil, sprinkling on a little salt and pepper and baking them in the oven.  And for a finishing touch I added some lemon juice and parmesan cheese (not my idea, thank the internet).  My asparagus adventure was a success!
