Will
someone pass me the fucking asparagus?
- Lester Burnham (Kevin Spacey) demands his nutrients in American Beauty (1999)
These
recipes are getting really random. Keda Black is still a few steps
ahead of me: I've still no idea when an egg is boiled. At what point
is the water deemed “boiling”? When you get little streams of
bubbles along the edges? When the surface ripples? Beats me.
I
hard-boiled the egg by accident. Oh well. Shelling the egg was a
massive ballache, and caused the egg to go cold. Keda also omitted
any information about how to cook asparagus, so I just bunged it in
the microwave and hoped for the best.
The
second time 'round, I attempted to steam the veg with a seive and a
saucepan. It sort-of worked. Once served, the sea-salt flakes just
about made the asparagus palateable. But it was a very random,
carbless meal. I doubt I'll go back to it.
