asparapee

Asparagus is a wonderful vegetable. It is one of very few vegetables to barbecue really well (along with corn and mushrooms) and it also gives you vile smelling piss. What more could a girl want?!

I only became aware of this over the summer, when my good friends in Seattle asked if I was a victim of asparapee. I didn't have a clue what they were talking about (those crazy yanks) so they barbecued up a stack of 'em for us and let nature take its course. It turned out that the four of us (our good friends, the bf and myself) are all 'producers' and I think we are also all 'sensors' - for curiously enough, only 40-70% of people 'produce' the vile smelling yellow stuff and fewer again can smell it.

I was quite content with this snippet of curiosity ... Until today. When, for no apparent reason, I began to produce asparapee all by myself. That's right: I have not been in spitting distance of an asparagus in weeks. And I'm getting a bit worried ...
