Favoriting Brian Turner: Playlist from May 17, 2016 Favoriting

Order and disorder in a freeform haze of terribly-played guitars, shorted-out electronics, found audio detritus, strange sounds from strange lands all around. Psych-punk-junk, collage, even pop. Lots of in-studio live performances to boot.

Interesting thing I learned about "dude" -- as associated as it is with California, it's originally a 19th-century NYC term for urban sophisticates. That's where dude ranches got their name, since it was for people who'd never been outside of a city. Harper's even had a contest for King of the Dudes in the 1880s or 90s.

except it didn't look like any greatest hits I ever saw, and my old record store was suddenly open-air, and somehow REM factored into it...

I want to try asparagus, but how to keep it crisp?
Avatar 4:37pm
Cecile:

do fridge pickles. Also soak anything you put into the hot brine for refrigerator pickles in ice-cold salt water for about 1/2 hour. Rinse and then pour the hot brine over. Also, smaller is better in terms of crispness. HTH.

@Cecile: there were also some joke commercials on rock radio back in the 80s for a Dio album in which he sings popular TV theme songs, like Love Boat and Love American Style. Whoever they had impersonating him did a pretty good sendup.

When I get asparagus home from the store, I let it sit with the stems in an inch of water overnight. When I microwave it, I use like 70% power.

brian, I'd pickle the asparagus as raw as you can get it. You're pouring boiling brine over it and that will cook it a little. Just enough, methinks.

coelacanth:

i will try Cecile's way; but if you want to cook it - break off 2-4" tops -set them aside; break the remaining stems into 1-1.5" pieces. OR if you know that this batch is not tough or stringy, cook the bottom pieces whole... compost the very bottoms if they're very tough or very white; steam the pieces for a few minutes at most.(they change hue slightly) add the tops for the last .5-1 minute, depending on thickness.
(...of course most folks cook them whole, but the bottoms & the tops don't retain crispness at the same rate.)

Cecile -true too. sometimes i put the bottom sections under fatty fish in a cast iron skillet in the oven with water and a little oil.(& maybe onion, ginger, etc). it cooks them and keeps the fish away from the pan, which is easier clean-up... then i put the tops on top of the fish for the last few seconds before the fish is ready.

Avatar 5:12pm
Lopez:

One day two asparagus stalks, who were best friends, were walking together down the street. They stepped off the curb and a speeding car came around the corner and ran one of them over. The uninjured asparagus stalk called 911 and helped his injured friend as best he was able. The injured asparagus stalk was taken to emergency at the hospital and rushed into surgery. After a long and agonizing wait, the doctor finally appeared. He told the uninjured asparagus stalk, "I have good news, and I have bad news. The good news is that your friend is going to pull through." "The bad news is that he's going to be a vegetable for the rest of his life".
