My Paleo Diet

Pun intended.  When you put asparagus in the refrigerator, it needs to be very dry.  Put it away wet, and it will rot by the next day.  However, if this happens, all might not be lost!

Asparagus seems to rot from the top down.  If it smells rotten, but the stalks look more or less good, try this.  Run water and put the asparagus tips under it.  With your fingers, squeeze the soft, mushy tip off completely, and continue this until there is only solid asparagus left.  If they aren’t too far gone, you’ll be able to rescue most of the asparagus and still use it.  You’ll know you’ve done enough when you can smell them and you no longer smell rot, just asparagus!
