Delicious…
Delicious but hot…
Hot hot hot hot hot…
Made myself some asparagus, and served them with molten butter, hard boiled eggs and potatoes… God, this is absolutely delicious! As my collegue Zoltan would say (in a very posh English accent) “Lovely!” :-)
I wanted to cook this for a guest, any guest, as cooking is more fun when you do it for someone else. No one wanted to come and eat asparagus with me though, apparently, I’m the only person my age that likes them :-)
To solve the quantity of asparagus in the fridge issue… I just made enough to have a delicious lunch tomorrow :-)
I should cook more often (and more serious), tomorrow, I’m planning on serving grilled salmon, with radicchio and pine nuts.
Hmmm, if I cook asparagus again next week, served the same way, are there any takers?
Lemme know here (or on IRC/MSN/ICQ/Skype/SMS/VOP (voice over phone), you all know how to contact me :-)) and we’ll set a date :-)

Yup, asparagus aren\’t exactly the type of vegetables people our age eat a lot… i know my parents love em, and I (as a kid) never liked em. Haven\’t eaten them in years. It\’s not something I\’d make for myself but it wouldn\’t hurt to try it again for a change ;)

Let’s see if the new anti-spam thingy works, Cailin, can you read this captcha thing?

yes, I know there are two submit buttons below, but I’m tired, I don’t know what I did to deserve them, but it beats not seeing anything anyway :-)
So far, it looks like reCAPTCHA is working. It’s a truly interesting idea, y’all should givet their site a quick look (and a long read)
Tomorrow, more on reCAPTCHA, how I found out about it etc. etc.
And if you’re really nice, I might drop down to “just” one submit button :-)

Asparagus? I love them with some ham, on a sandwich or rolled in some thin filet of beef.
And yea, I can read the text pretty damn well. Overall the whole plugin looks a lot better than the previous one. Good choice :)

Cailin, did you follow the white rabb^W^W link?
You might be interested in this one too.
The idea is that books need to be digitised, and as computers can’t always do that right, you need some human input. Thus, two words… One to verify that you are a human that can read, and the seccond (or first, who knows) to see if you and all the other people type that word in the same way, so that can become a verifying word.
Before you know it, you have a huge database with words that are imported correctly, even though “computers” couldn’t read them :-)
Hmmm, reading that, I think I should have stuck with the link, honestly, their site explains it much better :-)
