Showing support and boosting the morale of our military and our allied military and the family members of the above. Honoring those who have served before.

This week we take a look at one of the most famous Canteens of WWII.

Got done mowing at 1030 and it is already 81 hot degrees.

[Arrowhead1952]

We had 90 yesterday, and today looks like a repeat. 81 at 1030 and the hot part of the day isn’t here yet.

My back has not given me one ugly twinge today..I think I’ll do yardwork tomorrow..LOL(It’s 80 here)

[Arrowhead1952]

My back has been killing me since we moved the daughter out of the fourth story dorm. 54 stair steps each way, just to get up and down the stairs.

[Arrowhead1952]

I forgot to add, I think I need a good soaking in the hot tub about now.

[MEG33]

That’s why I am delaying..I don’t want to mess with today’s feeling so good!

PARENTAL WARNING: this recipe calls for asparagus. Your children might be offended. However, you can create a "family-friendly version....see suggestions at very end.

Asparagus with Honey Mustard
It’s amazing what a simple stir-together sauce can do to awaken the flavor of vegetables!

Prep Time:10 min
Start to Finish:25 min
Makes:6 servings

2 pounds asparagus
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive or vegetable oil

1. Snap off tough ends of asparagus spears.
2. Heat 1 inch water (salted if desired) to boiling in 12-inch skillet. Add asparagus. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 8 to 12 minutes or until stalk ends are crisp-tender; drain.
3. Shake remaining ingredients in tightly covered container. Drizzle over asparagus.

Success
Measure oil before honey to “grease” your tablespoon. You’ll be sure to get every last drop of honey!

Remember this simple sauce. It also flavors carrots, broccoli and cauliflower.

p.s. I’m going to try this with something other-than-asparagus. And, even add some hot pepper flakes.

[beachn4fun]

ok, I’m going to be leaving shortly, so I’ll have to leave a few things here at the Canteen before I go.
