Hint For Cleaning Asparagus

Social networking...has the potential to foster shallow relationships and detract from real ones. Instead of enhancing deep friendships, it tends to flatten out and impersonalize the dynamics of human interaction... [It] gives the illusion of knowing everyone, and yet the reality is that oftentimes no one is truly known. It creates an environment where selfish, one-sided relationships seem to flourish, and where communication is largely unidirectional, made up of sound bites instead of deep interaction. Moreover, it often distracts people from existing relationships. Instead of pouring themselves into the real-life friendships they currently have, people now spend hours with pseudo-friends online.

INSTRUCTIONS

Hold the bottom end of the asparagus stem in one hand and gently bend
the stalk with the other. The stalk will break where it is tender,
thus giving you a piece of asparagus that is entirely edible. With a
little practice you will know exactly where to break the vegetable.
Save the broken-off ends for soups. Slice and add to soup stock, then
drain and discard the coarse stalks before serving.  Information
