The Food Thread! Nom, nom, nom.

I love asparagus. Normally I cook mine in the oven, with olive oil, garlic slat. Last 5 minutes I sprinkle parmesan cheese over it. I also do something similar with sweet potatoes... Originally Posted by flyfishermanar

Poor guy has seen better days. Need to get him sandblasted and refinished. If anyone knows a place in NWA that can do it in a red high-temp powder coat, let me know, please!

I've usually just roasted my asparagus with olive oil and an aggressive seasoning of salt and pepper. I'm going to have to try the garlic and ending shot with Parmesan cheesh next time I can get some really fresh asparagus from the farmer's market.

Bought so much for Nukeman’s party, I still had some extra steaks to cook last night! Not much I love more than a good filet!

@ginger--I'm gonna have to throw down in your kitchen next time and cook a mean Italian dish. I'll cook Gnocchi with Alfredo sauce. We can eat it after I kick your ass in chess. ;-)

Oh, and Jane's invited too. We'll need someone to witness my victory 😝

Lol, the meal sounds great. Tell you what. You cook, and I’ll buy the beer... so you’ll have something to cry in after I kick your ass in chess.
