What's more important than good asparagus?
Phoebe Nobles made me laugh twice before coffee. She made me think about asparagi I have loved and of the terrible "asparagus pudding" my relatives serve. And she understands my fear of white asparagus. What other vegetable can you eat with your fingers on formal occasions? There's something naughty/sexy about that.
The LW who wishes Nobles would write about more important things--well--this essay was written without knowing we'd all be sitting around watching footage of another mass murder on the day it was published in Salon. LW, do you only think weighty thoughts? Do you never muse on the mundane? You might question Salon's decision to print essays on "unimportant" topics, but do you really need to pick on the author for having such thoughts and writing about them so charmingly?
