This was supposed to remove the stalky part but it did not do an effective job as this would leave a fibrous, inedible part at the end. My sister-in-law suggested a much better way of preparing asparagus: grab the asparagus from either end, bend it until it snaps and discard the firm, stalky end. This works great and you don't end up serving parts of the asparagus that are too fibrous to be eaten. http://www.sharewisdom.org/food-and-drink/cooking/90.html http://www.sharewisdom.org/food-and-drink/cooking/68.html My cousin made a delicious Mango Mousse and I want to share the recipe: Ingredients: 1 Can Mango Pulp 2 Packages of Jello (Orange and Peach flavour) 500 ml of Whipping Cream 2 Cups of water 1. Boil 2 cups of water and add in the jello powder. Mix till it dissolves and let it cool down. 2. Combine the mango pulp, whipping cream and add in the cooled jello water (from step 1). 3. Mix them up in a blender 4. Pour it into the dish and leave it in the fridge to set. (Prepare it at night so that it will be ready in the morning). 5.
