Diva Cooking 101

Divas cook gorgeous things that are fabulous enough to share with friends and family. They just don't cook much. Every diva needs a few, easy signature dishes to get by. Are you a diva cook?

Divas cook while listening to Billie Holiday, Muddy Waters, or the Rolling Stones.

Divas cook while sipping Champagne, Chardonnay, or a martini.

Divas cook with a feather boa draped around their shoulders.

While cooking, divas nibble gin-soaked olives or Champagne-saturated strawberries.

Divas cook while wearing an apron that says, "Tomorrow is another Chardonnay."

A diva's favorite breakfast is last night's appetizers.

Divas don't stress over particular amounts in any recipe. Glugs, plops, and handfuls are accurate enough.

Divas can cook with boas because diva recipes do not require many steps. Still, the food is fabulous.

Grilled Asparagus

This is one of the best ways to have asparagus, especially in the summer. Divas can marinate these ahead of time, then ask a friend to grill them. Divas are better at serving drinks and sparkling conversation than tending to a hot grill. (photo by K.I.T.)



Grilled Asparagus

1 bunch of asparagus

3 glugs soy sauce

3 glubs olive oil

2 glugs balsamic vinegar

2 cloves garlic, minced

ginger to taste

salt & pepper to taste

Trim and wash the asparagus. Microwave it for 2 minutes.
Put the rest of the ingredients together and pour over the asparagus.
Marinate for 2 hours.
Grill.

Even easier: In the Asian section of the supermarket, I have found a garlic flavored soy sauce. This eliminates the need to mince garlic.

Make into a meal: Serve with any grilled meats or fish.

Wine: Uugghh. It is impossible to pair asparagus and vinegar with wine. Make a martini.
