I rememeber being at a get together with good ole Mainman when he said, "Leave it to America to take something nutritionally sound and good for you and turn it into something fattening!"

They're baked. I can't find the nutrional value, but I do not see them as being too fattening.

Giant had asparagus on sale for $1.99 on Sunday. Not sure if it still is.

Next Spring we'll be rolling in Asparagus.. All 24 new plants came up this hear, for a total of about 70 or more plants.

The weeds took over so I mowed the entire patch down, and now all I have is a 5 foot tall asparagus forest, growing the roots for next years harvest!!

Yeah, Kwillia... cheese, bread and flour are not fattening!

MM's comment was specifically about pretzel rods that were wrapped in bacon and then baked... so I guess the same logic would apply since they were baked too...
