Asparagus

I bought some lovely asparagus a few weeks ago.  On the tag it said to store it in a small amount of water standing upright... in the fridge.

I was skeptical...but, I decided to try it.

Wow!

I cooked half the bundle the same day I bought it... because I like to have it nice and fresh...  but, as a test, I left this bundle in the water in the fridge ..  for over a week!  You know what happens to asparagus in the crisper..it gets wilty and the tops even get slimy sometimes...ick..... but.... look how firm it stayed.  And, when I cooked it... it tasted as good as the day I bought it...

What a great tip.  Definitely put your unused stalks in a container and save it for another day... no more wrecked and wasted asparagus!
