And He Can Cook

I Love the Smell of Asparagus In The Morning

December 03, 2009

Some foods, even those listed as aphrodisiacs-there’s no easy way to say this-smell bad. Stink to high heaven. The bog of eternal stench comes to mind. They seep into your walls and linger in the air no matter how many candles you light or windows you open. Some of them we love, like bacon. Some, like cabbage and asparagus, aren’t universal favorites, but you might have to cook one of these stinkers eventually.

When you do, be proactive. Open the windows if you can, keep your vent hood on while you’re cooking and clean up immediately after you plate. At least get rid of the grease or wash the pot you cooked the odiferous food in before you sit down to eat.  That way, it’s her fresh scent you’ll be inhaling all night, not boiled greens or salmon.
