John Miller wants someone to make asparagus taste like chocolate (this goes back a few days)? Someone

has!

“Everyone has to eat at least one piece of asparagus,” I plan to tell my

children at dinner on Christmas eve. Great wailing and gnashing of teeth

will ensue. “Remember,” I will warn, “if you want St. Nicholas to come

tonight…” And they will groan and agree. And then I will give them each

a lifelike spear of “asparagus” made of chocolate and hazelzut praline that

I found at Trader Joe’s .

At last: A vegetable the whole family can enjoy!
