Bear Knocks Down New Jersey Man, Steals His Sandwich
Last I heard, NJ had instituted a hunting season for bear to cope with the growing problem of way too many bears; however, that wouldn't be until autumn. Right now, their only enemy is the automobile and they do not have a healthy respect for humans---that is a dangerous situation when you never know if you going to find one in your backyard. My step son was holed up in his garden shed for over an hour one evening and they are constantly on his deck, drawn by the BBQ grill. It can make for some pretty exciting cookouts. Too many bear, not enough bear habitat. And by the way, we hunters are not "trigger happy morons" and unless you are a vegetarian and eschew meat entirely, it is pretty hipocritcal to condemn a hunter. How do you think that meat gets on your table? Is the guy at the slaughter house with a bolt gun in some way superior to we who hunt with a gun or a bow? Or is it that steers and pigs aren't as cute as bears and so not as worthy of life?
Tell Your Asparagus Story
Asparagus is fantastic pickled, preferably with a goodly amount of red pepper flakes. Like Suzzane, we find wild asparagus growing along irrigation ditches and it is a whole different animal than the commercial kind---much nuttier in flavor. While I would never eat store bought asparagus raw, I use the wild variety as snack food.
Well Done Burgers - a Twin Cities thing?
Yes, the "Runny Egg Law" as it was called, was put into effect and almost immediately (within 6 months, if I recall) withdrawn. Turns out the egg loving masses in the mulitude of Jersey diners preferred their eggs not to be rubbery discs. Lets face it, if you can't dip you toast into a nice liquid yolk, what's the point?

Sorry @huneybumper, if I tend to get a bit hyper---as a hunter yourself I suppose you understand quite well how danged annoying it is to be considered a Bambi killer by people who have no problem with chowing down a steak. Out here in WY, many fill their freezers for the winter by hunting and and would have precious little protein without doing so. My sincere apologies for the misunderstanding.
