A is for Asparagus

i've joined a group
and we are learning the alphabet
on thursdays
its a remedial round-up
and each thursday i will be challenged to come up with a recipe
for the letter of the day

today was the first day
and the letter is A
and it took me some time to get with the program
so i am a bit late
but like epstein
i have a note
dear jenny
christy didn't meet the deadline
because
she lives in southern california
and building the arc took longer 
than anticipated
but although 
A is for Arc
thats not her topic
please excuse her tardiness
signed
christy's mother
(if you are too old or too young to get the epstein reference, i am sorry that you missed out on that very important time in our cultural history)
today i made a lunch that started out light
until i guilded it
to an obscene caloric giant
which i am so very good at
