Cooking instruction summary:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400. Wrap 6 thick asparagus spears with two slices of raw bacon.
  2. Place on a small baking sheet and spritz the bundle with nonstick cooking spray, just to coat the asparagus lightly. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  3. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the asparagus is tender.

Food Joke

Directions Shlomo goes to see his psychiatrist. "Doctor, my wife Fay is being unfaithful to me. Every night, she goes to Palwin’s Wine Bar and picks up a man. She sleeps with anybody who asks her to. I`m going crazy with worry. What on earth should I do?" Relax," says the Doctor, "take a couple of deep breaths and try to calm down. Now, first of all tell me exactly where Palwin’s Wine Bar is."
