In an effort to make me more well rounded in what I eat, Ms. Phynerk insisted that I eat at least one stick of asparagus last night. Asparagus, however, falls into the same category with me as vegetables that are the color of orange - none should ever be placed in one's mouth . Anyway, I succeeded in eating the asparagus ! My secret ? I simply cut the little demon into pieces so small that their detection was only possible by using a cobalt-strontium laser research microscope and mixing each of these pieces with other stuff I was eating. The only downside to all this was the fact that these small pieces required extra bites to mask out their taste. So many extra bites that I ended up having to consume an additional 46 pounds of mash potatoes, six cans of sweet peas and five loaves of bread, but I did in the pesky asparagus stick. I am VICTORIOUS !!!
