It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

Here's a recipe for Asparagus Guacamole I got off the internet, kitty. I've used it on nachos when I couldn't get decent avocados. You could vary the ingredient amounts depending on how much you need and how much asparagus you have.
1 lb asparagus spear, cut into 1 inch lengths (2 cups) 3/4 cup water 2 tablespoons plain yogurt (or low fat) 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped (1 cup) 2 tablespoons sliced green onions 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 garlic clove, minced (add more if you so desire!) 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon cayenne Directions:
1 Combine asparagus and water in a 2 quart saucepan. 2 Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. 3 Simmer 8 to 10 minutes or until tender. 4 Rinse with cold water; drain. 5 Blot asparagus with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. 6 Combine asparagus, yogurt and lemon juice in food processor or blender. 7 Process till smooth. 8 In a medium mixing bowl, combine asparagus mixture and remaining ingredients. 9 Chill, if desired. 10 Serve with raw veggies or tortilla chips.
