It's really easy. First I cut them into bite sized pieces. Then I heat up some olive oil in a skillet. Salt and pepper the asparagus, then toss into the pan. They cook in just a few minutes; they turn a brighter shade of green. I added some Sherry when cooking them too.How do you make asparagus. I've never cooked them.

I've yet to see cooking wines here and I font drink wine or anything else. I'll skip the boosy bit.
Cool! I have sherry for cooking. I bought it to make trifle but I've used it for sauces ect. I'm going to try it with asparagus. Thanks for the tip Peaches.It's really easy.

I use it on sauteed onions too. Actually, I make a quick and dirty French onion soup that way. I use other cooking wines for this and that too, but I always keep cooking sherry around.Cool!

Last thing I ate was macadamia nuts.
Grapefruit interacts with certain pills, the blood pressure ones I was on are one of them. I can't remember the exact reason why, but I remember watching a show on it last year.Why can't you take blood pressure pills with grapefruit? :-[
How about orange juice.
MMMMMMMMmmmMMMMI ate a cheddar english muffin with cream cheese.

Grapefruit and grapefruit juice affect the absorption rate of many blood pressure medications. Aggravating as it was, good on you for listening to sound advice. How is your blood pressure now?

Sorry you've been so under the weather! Maybe you can try a little coffee with food? Or is it still coming back up even then?
A toasted cheese sandwich for breakfast this morning. I'm starving today. I kept the sandwich down. Still can't keep coffee down. I would kill for a cup of coffee.
I remember hearing the Vitamin C (orange juice) and calcium interaction years ago, but for the life of me I cannot find any info on it now. You'll find some OJ's with calcium added, actually.
It's even coming up with food. I think it's the acid. I'm off work yet tomorrow, so I'm going to try it again in the morning. I can't live without coffee.
I read that about grapefruit and the juice. I have high blood pressure, too, and I have to be careful. Something about an enzyme in the fruit that counteracts the effects of the meds. I know you can't add fresh grapefruit to gelatin; it won't gel. Canned yes, fresh no. And I'm really careful about grapefruit. Hope you're doing much better now.
If you take calcium pills (I do), you shouldn't drink orange juice with the pills because there's something in orange juice that hinders the absorption of calcium. Sometimes you just can't win.
Thanks, I knew it was something like that. My blood pressure is about the same as it was while on meds. My doctor told me early pregnancy lowers your BP. It's usually around 132/83 now which I am happy with. I check it once or twice a day (usually morning and night).

You would be starving you poor thing. It sound like you're improving though. These things seem to knock the energy out of us for a while. Hang in there.
