Yum, Yum, Yum!

It's always rewarding when a dinner idea works well. Tonight, dinner is Baked Beef Brisket, with a side-dish of Asparagus with Parmesan Cheese. Here's how I did the side-dish...

Asparagus with Parmesan and Mozeralla Cheese

Ingredients
  • 2 15-oz. cans extra long tender asparagus spears (drained)
  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 3/4 cup shredded Mozeralla cheese
  • butter
  • Itailan seasoning (to taste).

Preparation
  • Spread 1 can of drained asparagus spears in an 8-inch square backing dish.
  • Dollop with butter.
  • Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top.
  • Spread the second can of drained spears on top, making a second layer.
  • Dollop with butter.
  • Sprinkle the Mozerella cheese on top, covering the entire top of the dish.
  • Sprinkle Italian seasoning on top.

Broil for 7-10 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly.

To recap, here's what I cooked...

Now that's some good eatin'!

Odd pizza varieties

Reading a blog posting from Felyne about pizza got me thinking about the odd varieties of pizza anyone can find at their local pizza parlour. I sumbit a few varieties...

Meat Smothers Pizza
Made with three times the helpings of sausage, pepperoni, and ground beef found in “normal” pizzas. Cheese extra. Includes an informative brochure on what to do in the event of a heart attack.

Dolphin-Free Seafood Pizza

Made with either canned tuna or canned salmon. Pizza still comes with a warning label about the health effects of mercury on pregnant women.

PETA Pizza

All ingredients are guaranteed to be animal-free, and have never been used for cosmetic testing. Varieties come in bland, very bland, and lipstick.

Enviro-Buddy Pizza

No meat, no veggies, no crust, and no sauce. Not only low-carb and low-calorie, but CFCs are not used to create it. How environmentally friendly can you get!

Earth Liberation Front Pizza

This variety of the PETA Pizza includes your choice of a coupon, either boasting half-off an arson attack against anyone trying to build a home, with a pre-scribed note, saying, “Construction Kills Trees!,” or half-off a vandalism or fire-bombing at a prominent research lab (usually at a university with a liberal student body), with a pre-scribed note, saying, “scientific research causes global warming!”

Tutti Fruity Patooti Pizza

Chock-full of fibrous fruit. Sweet-tasting, and very filling. May cause abdominal distension and/or excessive flatulence.

Love-filled/hate-filled Vegetarian Pizza

Peppers, onions, tomatoes, and olives, plus a complimentary “God hates meat eaters” protest sign.

The Bush-Basher Pizza

Your choice of any ingredients, piled as short or as high as you want. The pizza comes with a complimentary protest sign saying the government forced you to eat the pizza, and that any health problems that you may experience as a result of eating the pizza are entirely the fault of the Bush Administration. The back of the sign reads, “If Kerry won the election, federal programs would be in place to help me with my pizza choices”.

Dish up the pizza pie and enjoy! Mmmm... That's-a good eatin'!
