Some things you have to do every day. Eating seven apples on Saturday night instead of one a day just isn't going to get the job done.
[Jim Rohn]

 

Watermelon --it's a good fruit. You eat, you drink, you wash your face.
[ Enrico Caruso]

Fruits are acceptable gifts, because they are the flower of commodities, and admit of fantastic values being attached to them. If a man should send to me to come a hundred miles to visit him, and should set before me a basket of fine summer-fruit, I should think there was some proportion between the labor and the reward.
[ Ralph Waldo Emerson]

Asparagus With Citrus Cream Sauce

 

Ingredients

1 medium-size orange
1 large lime
1 cup unflavored nonfat yogurt
1/8 tsp white pepper
2 lb asparagus,tough ends trimmed
1 salt



 

Preparation

1. From colored surfaces of orange and lime, grate enough of the
orange peel to make 1 teaspoon.
2. From center of orange and lime, cut 1 or 2 thin crosswise slices
apiece; wrap slices airtight and chill. Ream 3 tablespoons juice from
orange, 1 tablespoon juice from lime. In a bowl, mix orange and lime
peel, orange and lime juice, sour cream, and pepper. Makes 1 1/4
cups. Serve, or, if made ahead, cover and chill up to a day.
3. Bring 1 1/2 to 2 inches water to a boil in a 10-12" frying pan
over high heat. Add asparagus and cook, uncovered, until stems are
just tender to pierce, 5-7 minutes.
4. Drain asparagus well, then place hot spears on a warm platter;
garnish with reserved orange and lime slices. Offer flavored sour
cream and salt to add to taste.
