I bought and ate some very good fresh asparagus

wow.. I could almost taste it, specially with the mayo and I do hear, crunch? wow.. yes, treating ourselves is not. we work hard, we earn so we deserve to treat ourselves, because if our bodies we complain, we could be paying higher price. LOL. hmmm.. I think I want to treat myself with pizza. Junky but I miss eating it. There is no pizza and burger to where I am now.. such a remote place. Good for you and good for pampering yourself a little. you deserve it.

Hi marguicha, I bought some asparagus where I usually shop for my veggies. The label said it was from either Argentina or Chile (can't remember). This was over a year ago and it was the best asparagus I ever ate! I usually steam it and eat it with butter and salt. I've never seen any from there again, only from other places. Two of us ate it and neither one of us could get over how great tasting it was. I really love asparagus and it grows wild out in the country near here. I usually buy local if I can because there are lots of farms here. As for treating myself, I like lots of stuff. Anything vanilla, or salty or, like Mavic (above) I love pizza. Last night I went to the store for cat food and looked in their bakery. There were so many delicious looking desserts for Christmas. I decided to get a treat for myself but couldn't make up my mind. Finally I decided on a container of 4 small chocolate frosted brownies with red & green frosting in the middle to look like holly berries & leaves. I came home and ate all four of them. They were delicious!

Green or white? The white is good steamed, then sauteed in a bit of butter with a sprinkle of sugar on top.

Glad u treated yourself. I'm a glutton when it comes to fresh veggies. Hate that they are gone here till next summer. I do treat myself, too much. Buying groceries has always been one of my weaknesses. Don't spend much money on myself but am going to have good food as long as i can buy it.One of my treats is buying fresh lemons for my ice tea.I buy more treats than i need most of the time, lol.

Most veggies and fruits are out of season, so they ship them in from other countries. I find them so gross, already starting to rotten, and taste funny. I bought myself some sushi and dumplings today as my Christmas treat.

You ruined good asparagus with mayo? Ugh! I cook my asparagus in a pan with a little butter and water to the crisp tender stage. I do not eat it with anything other than that. I have had some that is raw that was on the buffet table for dipping into some kind of holladaise sauce. I usually treat myself to a bunch that makes two servings at least two times per month. I look at the cost of fresh fruits and vegetables versus the cost of junk and snack foods and the 'extra' for the fruits and vegetables seems to be justifiable. My favorite treat food is Alaskan king crab legs steamed at the market. Now that is something that I have to save up for because I live inland away from the coastline.

I treat myself to fish sometimes. Its very troiblesome to biuy, clean and then cook. So its very rare that I get to eat it.

Hi marguicha, here it is winter. I think you are enjoying summer. Our winter is the best season. Now we get plenty of vegetables and fruits in the markets.Cauliflower, cabbage, tomato, potato and various type of pot-herbs are available in the markets. Price is also cheaper. I like cauliflower very much. The recipe of food item made by cauliflower and potato is so yummy. I also enjoy tomato salad. I become almost vegetarian in the winter.

That does sound really yummy to eat. Asparagus isn't very cheap from where I live either. The ones that are cheap usually look kinda wilted and old and somewhat brown. We just have the asparagus steamed with a little bit of butter and some salt. It does taste really good to eat when they are fresh. I don't really know why they make your pee smell bad after you consume it.

I like sweets but I try to control the urge in buying them coz I know that it could not be healthy eating a lot of sweets.

We do that here too friend, my wife buys fresh asparagus and turn to the most delicious chicken cream of asparagus soup,, yeah a little bit expensive but cheaper in the long run instead of buying imported canned Campbell soup when we crave to have one. Asparagus is very good for your condition my friend

Ha ah, you sound like me and my buys from the open market here. my sweat potatoes where sure good. I also got mine from the mercado here. have a great weekend. its almost xmas....
