Tips : Dont make the mistake of only the young or soft part of the shoots of asparagus can be eaten. The hard part can be eaten too. Just simply peel off the skin and cook together with the young roots. Asparagus is low in calories, contains no fat or cholesterol, a good source of dietry fiber. However, asparagus are metabolized and excreted in the urine, giving it a distinctive smell though.


Albany Bacon Stir-fried with Asparagus, Capsicums and Carrot.

This recipe was born in Albany, New Zealand. My first dinner was instant noodles with hams and eggs. My friend, Kimmy seldom eat vegetable but likes meat very much. I couldnt find any vegetable in the refrigerator but ham, bacon, drumsticks, beef and other frozen food were occupied the space. I am an omivore (but more to herbivore), of course i wont be satisfied if my meal contains only meat.



My first dinner in Albany, New Zealand.

So the next day i decided to get some vegetables in the nearest supermarket. Asparagus, capsicum, carrot, cabbage and lettuce were cheap, so i brought them all back home. And i randomly picked what i had bought for the dinner of my second day in New Zealand. Finally i had a proper meal. Again she fried two eggs. She likes eggs so much. (I guess any kind of egg. lol) Apparently, the big portion one was mine. I ate a lot yet still lost weight during my working holiday there.
