' .07 Enjoy fresh astittragus as a vegetable As the first vegetable to mature optdoors, asparagus re- ceives a special welcome each spring. Warm, moist•earth and sunshine can produce a growth of as much as eight inches in one day? The green, erect stalk is cut just below the surface of the ground. before the tips start to open. Asparagus is sold by the pound, usually In bunches and marked Canada No. 1 grade. One pound will serve three 'or four persons. Fresh asparagus keeps well. The home economists •at Canada Agriculture say that when 'the stalks are stored, unwashed and untrimmed, in the crisper or in a plastic bag, they will remain crisp for several days. When preparing asparagus for cooking, wash the stalks giving special attention to the scales where sand collects. Stalks of similar diameter will take about the same cooking time. Break off each stalk as far as it will snap easily. Asparagus is usually boiled but may also be epanned" or baked. Cook some extra asparagus to serve cold on a, salad plate. TO BOIL - if deep pan with a lid is available, tie• whole stalks in bundles and 'stand them ;up- right in a small amount of boil- ing salted water. To cook "Kindle-fashion", cut stalks in 'half and place lower ends in boiling water, then lay top por- tions ' across lower Ones and cover tightly. In each method boil until stalks are just tender, 6 to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the stalks, TO PAN - Cut asparagus stalks' into diagonal I/4-inch slices. place some butter, or cooking oil in frypan and heat; add as - paragus, sprinkle with salt, then toss to coat. Cover, heat quickly to form steam, then re- duce heat and cook gently until just tender (10 .to 12 minutes). Shake pan frequently to prevent sticking„ TO BAKE - This will be useful ail the oven is being used for baking or roasting. Arrange 2-inch lengths in greas ed bak- ing dish, sprinkle. with salt and dot with butter. Add small amount of water (1 tablespoon for 1 1/9 pounds.) Cover and 'bake until tender (about 45 minutes at 375 degrees .F or 40 minutes at 425 degrees F); Serve freshly cooked aspara- gus with butter, or one of the following combinations, suffic- ient for 1 1/2 pounds asparagus: 1/2 cup dairy sour cream ' mixed with 1/4 teaspoon salt or 1/4 cup grated cheese or melted process cheese or 4 slices crisp bacon, crum- bled or undiluted canned celery,' chicken or mush- room soup, heated or 1/4 cup each dairy sour cream and mayonnaise mixed with • • 1/4 teaspoon curry powder.

It is popular in most areas of the country, not only because it IS easily grown, but because of its rosy color and tart flavor. It is usually considered a native of the Northern European and Scandinavian countries. Ac- tually, though, the earliest re- cords on the use of rhubarb date back to about 2700 B.C. in China. where the root was used for medicinal purposes'. It is believed- that camel caravans crossing the deserts and moun- tains from the Far East carried their medicinal herb into Europe, Like so many other plants, rhubarb crossed the Atlantic Ocean with the colonists. Now it is available in the late winter., and early spring from hothouses and in late spring, fresh from the garden: Rhubarb is best usedas soon as possible after picking. Since it has a tendency to dry out, it should be kept in a plastic bag in the refrigerator if it can not be used immediately. It may be held fora day or two this way.
