I must admit I am my mother's son, and apparently that of her mother as well. Both enjoy collecting beautiful things to display, as well as saving practical materials that may be of use at some unknown (and inexplicable) point in time. I am not a collector, per se, but I am guilty of keeping things like useless wood scraps and old nails and bolts. And I just can't bring myself to discard antlers, handsome game hides or upland bird plumage. Art is a recurring theme among my tales and reflections...
Buying a new car is always exciting. Spending hours at the dealership, negotiating your heart out and signing a tree's worth of papers... not so exciting.

I made this a few days ago because I had some asparagus to use up, plus I had all the ingredients, except half and half, but used milk. I even had an unbaked (bought) pie crust in the freezer that needed to be used. It is quick and easy. The listed amount says it is for two pie crusts but the milk and eggs, I found, fit nicely in a large pie pan. I didn't measure or weigh the asparagus, just used what I had, which was about right.
