Recipe - Hint For Cleaning Asparagus

=== A HINT FOR CLEANING
ASPARAGUS ===

Hold the bottom end of the asparagus stem in one hand and gently bend the
stalk with the other. The stalk will break where it is tender, thus giving
you a piece of asparagus that is entirely edible. With a little practice
you will know exactly where to break the vegetable. Save the brokenoff
ends for soups. Slice and add to soup stock, then drain and discard the
coarse stalks before serving.
