From the Valley of the Jolly

Posted on March 29, 2008 by Kit

I’m not sure what vegetable the Jolly Green Giant represents, but ever since I was little he has reminded me of asparagus.

JOLLY GREEN GIANT ASPARAGUS TART

I had some asparagus left from Easter and made this breakfast /brunch bread. Serve with some leftover fried ham and an egg. Don’t forget to scrape the rest of that beet relish from the jar! Ho! Ho! Ho!

    Remember that part in the Mass of the Catacumens, “Asperges me, Domine”?

    Every time I went to church I got hungry for asparagus.

    Also, you probably know this, but I’ll repeat it anyway, the Emperor Augustus’s favorite saying was “Quick as boiled asparagus.”

    I really hope you’re cheering for Xavier.

    Listen for yourself!

    THOU shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, O Lord, and I shall be cleansed; Thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Ps: Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Thy great mercy. V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost. R. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Ant: Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, O Lord, and I shall be cleansed; Though shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

    I thought you were calling UCLA the Beach Boys.

    I hate UCLA. Andrew applied to grad school there and they told him no.

    Was Judy Garland in that show? Or was she already pushing daisies?

    I went to the store today and looked all over for white cake with coconut frosting. I couldnt even find a froze Sara Lee one.

    Diane,

    Don’t use the word “collards” anymore. They prefer Dutch-American borekale.
