Cooking instruction summary:

Wash and sterilize 4-5 wide mouth pint jars, lids and rings (you can sterilize them by running them in the dry setting in your dishwasher, or just soak in a sink of very hot water). You should need five jars if you’re adding onions, or four if it’s only asparagus.While jars are sterilizing, rinse asparagus and snap off the woody ends (save them for asparagus soup!). Cut the asparagus into 2-3 inch lengths.In a large pot, mix kosher salt, vinegar and sugar. Heat on medium high stirring until salt and sugar are dissolved. Turn heat to the lowest setting.Remove jars from sterilization and dry them off. Place one garlic clove and one sprig of dill in each jar. Divide the red pepper flakes and mustard seed among the jars.Pack asparagus tightly into the jars, interspersing with onion slices if desired.When jars are filled, pour brine (the vinegar mix) into each jar to cover all the asparagus. Put the lid on and seal with the rings. Let sit until sealed (at least one hour). If any lids did not seal (center of lid shouldn’t be able to be pressed down), refrigerate the jars.

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
