Mixed Veggies!

Today I was eating lunch in the cafeteria. I got the quarter chicken with 2 sides. This was nothing new. I've purchased this before. My two sides are usually the same as well. Stuffing and mixed vegetables. But today turned out to be slightly different. I finished the chicken and finished the stuffing. I was happily munching on my mixed vegetables when I bit into what I thought might've been asparagus. I guess I could've went and asked the cafeteria people if this was really asparagus, but I figured it probably wasn't and that maybe I tricked myself or something. So I continued to finish the mixed vegetables.

I've been eating a TON of frozen mixed vegetables lately.  I went out on a limb maybe half a year ago and purchased a bag of frozen green beans from Von's. I always enjoyed fresh green beans, but being the fairly lazy person that I am, I did not want to go through the hassle of washing, then cutting, then cooking the green beans. So frozen it was. I have not been eating bags of both frozen green beans AND frozen sugar snap peas. The Von's kind are much better than the Albertson's kind. I want to try other frozen vegetables to see if they are also good. Perhaps broccoli. Although broccoli doesn't sound like it would be that good frozen. I don't know why. Instead of cooking them on a stove like any normal human being, I "pseudo-steam" in the microwave. Put some vegetables in a bowl, add some garlic/salt/pepper, cover with another plate, and nuke it for like 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Out comes deliciousness. Or...close to deliciousness. Any recommendations on frozen vegetables?

I wonder if they sell the same type of mixed vegetables in the frozen aisle. Broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, zucchini, and maybe asparagus? Anyways, I was still curious about whether or not they put in asparagus. From what I remember, asparagus isn't that cheap so I wondered why it would be in there.  I finished my lunch and didn't think more of it.

It was asparagus. How did I know? I went to the bathroom because I needed to pee. It smelled like asparagus. I'm glad no one was in the bathroom with me because I was definitely chuckling to myself. I left the bathroom with a smile on my face. Oh the simple pleasures of life.


Moral of the story: If you ever wonder if what you are eating is asparagus but feel like it's weird to ask, just have patience. You will know soon enough.
