While the rest of the family has left over beef casserole tomorrow I'm going to try this. I got some lovely asparagus at the markets and was wondering what to try.

I hope you enjoy it sue_h  ;)

Another recipe I like is Rich Vegetable Sauce (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=6160.0)
You can give also that one a try some other time since you like asparagus

The only problem with asparagus is... when you go to the bathroom it does smell!!!  :D
Well... I've just recently found out that your pee might smell when you have asparagus. I almost thought there was something wrong with me! :)
