eating pleasure. The season
is relatively short, so enjoy
asparagus often while it’s
here.
Food specialists at the On-
tario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food
suggest some hints for selec
ting and cooking asparagus.
Choose bright green stalks
with tightly closed compact
tips. Stalks should be
straight and firm, and about
6 to 8 inches long.
If possible, eat asparagus
the same day you buy it.
However, if it is necessary
to store it, wrap the bottom
of the stalks in a damp paper
tower. Then put the
asparagus in a plastic bag
and refrigerate. Plan to use
withing two days.
To prepare for cooking,
break off the woody stem
where it snaps easily. Wash
the stalks thoroughly and
carefully to remove any
sand from under the scales.
Whatever method you use
to cook asparagus,
remember never to over
cook' it. The flavor is at its
best when the asparagus is
cooked only until crisp
tender. Boiling and pan fry
ing both require about seven
minutes cooking time.
Treat yourself and your
family to this fresh,
delicious vegetable soon.

Birthday blitz
By ELAINE TOWNSHEND
It has been almost like
Christmas for the Towns
hend clan for the past two
months. In eight weeks, the
family of ten, including
great-grandparents, crams
six birthdays plus Mother’s
Day and Father's Day.
Lining up six birthdays in
eight weeks, when there are
forty-four other weeks in the
year, shows a definite lack of
planning, which I had
nothing to do with.
You probably think I’m
going to complain about the
money involved in gift
giving, but that’s only part of
the problem; the main
problem is knowing what to
buy.
Since Star Wars hit the
scene, the dilemma of
choosing a gift for my seven
year-old nephew has been
solved; anything associated
with the movie pleases him. I
gave him two Star Wars’
figures but I’m still not sure
what they are.
I follow the rule that along
with an impractical present
goes a practical one. This
year I gave him a shirt, and
as he unwrapped it, I waited
apprehensively for a
disgusted “Oh, it’s a shirt!”
at the worst or a polite
“Thank you” at the best.
To my amazement, he
unfolded the shirt, looked it
over and announced, “I like
it. Thanks Elaine.” Then,
instead of throwing it on the
floor or at his mother, he
neatly folded it and laid it on
the table. Either he put on a
good act or the kid’s growing
up.
My teen-aged niece is easy
to shop for; earrings or
money keep her happy.
My teen-aged nephew is
not so easy to shop for. His
interests include rock music,
horses, welding
mechanics, and
knowledge of each field is
slim. His present usually
contains a “You can ex
change it, if it’s not what you
need” guarantee.
When it comes to mothers
and grandmothers, thank
goodness for flowers and
chocolates, and for fathers
and grandfathers, shirts,
socks and ties are “old
reliables.”
My Dad always wants a
Charley Pride record. I’ve
tried to tell him there are
other country singers, but he
doesn’t listen. Now I think he
owns every record Charley
Pride ever released.
My sister and I haunt
record bars at Father’s Day,
birthday time and Christmas
time, looking for the latest
LP. One of us spies a new
record; the other buys socks.
This year I don’t think
and
my
Charley has released a
record, at least not in this
area. Oh well, Dad can take
comfort in knowing he will
probably never have to go
barefoot.
Celebrating six birthdays
plus Mother’s Day and
Father’s Day in eight weeks
is hard on wallets, feet and
brains, but it does save on
candles and birthday cakes.
Two or three “special days”
usually satisfy the bunch.
I’ll bet you think I’m just a
complainer, but before you
brand me Scrooge of the „
Townshends, let me set the
record straight: I enjoy gift
shopping.
I enjoy shopping for that
perfect gift for each person,
even though I seldom find it.
I like wrapping the present
attractively and finding a
suitable card.
I try to consider each
person’s interests and needs
and to choose a gift that is
just right for them. It’s
worth the trouble, because
each of them is entitled to
their special day: they
deserve it. Besides, I have a
birthday, too.
