I've had a piece of steak marinading in a thick BBQ sauce/paste for about three days. The boss-fella at the Men's Shed acquired a 15 kg box of asparagus from a grower. The contents look OK to me but the grower assures us they can't be sold to the supermarkets because they're too fat and some of the florets that form the tip are broken. Big deal. I LOVE asparagus. The 1/2 kg bag I bought for $1 are hard & woody for just over an inch up from the base, leaving a huge amount of viable stalk.
So it's steak & asparagus for lunch today.
