I steam mine (Black and Decker makes a steamer that also has a bowl for steaming rice). Surprisingly my kids really like asparagus - though I think the hollandaise sauce might have something to do with that!

OMG, I really need to get a life!
I went to our Men's breakfast at church this morning. Sat down at a table with a friend, we ate breakfast and I grabbed a coffee. I turned to my friend and said "Wow, this coffee is horrible, it's like drinking tar!" (or coffee from Starbucks) He replied "really? I made it"... oops. After a few sips I excused myself and dumped it. I stopped on the way home at Tim Horton's which is the Canadian equivalent to what Mecca is to Muslims except you have to go at least once a day rather than once in your life! (I rarely ever go and if it gets out I could have my citizenship revoked, so don't spread it around, OK.) Anyway, the line up was to the door, so I left (and prayed to the Great Timmy in the Sky to forgive me). Finally I stopped at a mall to get a newspaper and saw another Tim Horton's (I think The Great Timmy was looking out for me, it couldn't be just coincidence!)in the mall with no line up. I had a lovely chat with the girl behind the counter but have absolutely no idea what we were talking about except that she was a Vegetarian...but she seemed to enjoy the convo...I think. So, I'm at home drinking my double double (that's Tim Horton's language) and planning my afternoon and so far am coming up with nothing. That's why I'm sitting here filling you all in on the mundane goings on of my morning. Anyway, just so that you're not feeling empty when you leave this thread, here's something for all you mom's out there which I came across on my internet journeys last night. Ah, what the heck, I'll toss in the dog saying grace too...enjoy! Later fellow Asparagus lovers (hey, do you think the asparagus had something to do with our spouses dumping us? Just wonderin') I got some serious afternoon planning to do...or maybe I'll nap.
One of my clients brought me a huge can of Tim Horton's coffee earlier this year. I loved their roast! I'm still a Starbucks fan but if I could get my hands on that Tim Horton Columbian Roast I would switch. I did finally break by daily Starbucks habit but only once I moved to GA 9.5 years ago. There was no Starbucks in town so it was not a possibility. Now we have a couple but none of them are drive through so that is a plus also!
An example of how bad my habit was? I drove past a Starbucks every morning in my commute in CA. I stopped M-F with my toddler in the back of the car (I dropped him at pre-school across the street from my office). One of the table bussers would see me pull into the parking lot and come out to keep an eye on my son while I ran inside to get my Venti Caramel Macchiato with the triple shot of Espresso. They always were in the midst of making it for me before I walked in the door. They were GOOD! I spent a crazy amount of money per week and an insane amount of calories and I ran on straight caffeine. If I ever showed up at work without my coffee in hand my co-workers ran for the hills! LOL!

I know I could get disemboweled for this but to me Tim's is just a rather ordinary cup of coffee. I think though that if churches used it for communion with a Timbit to go along side Canada would be the most Christian country on the face of the earth.
I just phoned wife's place to talk to my girls and the answering machine took the call, the strangest thing was that it was my voice on the answering machine. So yes, if I'd like to leave a message for myself, after almost three years, I can still press 1. The phone service wife uses has it's own voice mail but if someone mistakenly turns on the answering machine you get the previously recorded message and that apparently is still me. I should phone back and leave myself a message...I think I will!
I was driving to pick up my D from her gymnastics class when I had this thought. I'd been alone all day and was thinking how when you're married and have someone there you always think that's forever, you'll never be alone. Then it occurred to me how irrational that thought actually is. If 50% of marriages end in divorce then how come we all thought it was forever? Is it like Cancer "I don't need to stop smoking, it'll never happen to me?" Think about it, if you knew that 50% of planes crash would you say "mine won't" and, unless you're experiencing some severe emotional problems, you wouldn't get on the damn plane to begin with! Wow, aren't we illogical creatures...and then we go out and do it again!
I remember when STBXW first said the word divorce. It was 2003 and it just shocked me. To be fair, I was absolutely acting like an *ss that day. I went to a friend's house, told him what was going on and he said I was 100 percent wrong.
So I went back and apologized. From that day on though, I felt like I was living with a hammer over my head.
