Answer 3

Asparagus is great!  Martian may be either slightly overcooked or frozen crisp!  As for Wal-mart...always low prices!  lol

Answer 4

There is an interesting comparison here. Wal*Mart and Mount Saint Helens. Biologists were curious about which animals would repopulate first, after the debris field cooled. They expected dung beetles and cockroaches. They were wrong. The predator insects were the first to re-establish the food chain, at the top, not the bottom...

Answer 5

"All our science is just a cookery book, with an orthodox theory of cooking that nobody's allowed to question, and a list of recipes that mustn't be added to except by special permission from the head cook" ~Brave New World

Gardening, Writing, all begin with the Cultivating of  an idea . One mans asparagus is another mans Gold.
