When I was a boy I just HATED asparagus. Couldn't stand it. And my parents LOVED it! But I wouldn't eat it. They liked it so much that, when it was in season, they'd even make a cream sauce and put asparagus into it and serve it as 'Creamed Asparagus On Toast'.
Of course our tastes change and now I LOVE ASPARAGUS! But if you, too, like asparagus, you are probably aware of the undesirable side effect that it has on the human body - it makes your urine smell.
Well, never let it be said that I don't post helpful hints here in this blog! I stumbled on a solution!
To overcome this effect, simply parboil/blanch your asparagus FIRST and then immerse in a cold water 'shock' for about a minute then drain (that preserves the color - think 'fresh' vs 'canned' asparagus color). Then saute or grill in whatever recipe you like!
WHO takes care of you?!?!

I don't remember the cream sauce, and I cooked it for them for a while. Glad you found the way to save it though. I'll have to remember that for Randy, as he loves it too. Hope you're friends kid is OK. Love ya Betty Lou
