30th September 2009

Hi, I'm back after a pretty long hiatus but things should be up and running soon.

25th July 2009

I just made a new button so I thought I'd add it to the site, I'm pretty pleased with it.

19th July 2009

Goodness, I haven't really updated this week, well there's nothing really new just a couple of new names to the list etc. I was thinking about making another button I might go and do that now actually.

13th July 2009

I've added the rest of Asparagus products today, I kept forgetting so I thought best get it done now before I forget again.

10th July 2009

I've added another person to the AA list. It's starting to slowly grow, also an HCer had a brilliant idea of adding what other countries call asparagus so I added that section too.

7th July 2009

I've finally got 10 listings! I've also added a recipes section so if anyone has an asparagus recipe they want to share, just neomail me.

6th July 2009

I've been accepted into the Golden Neopia, Yay! I hope I get some votes, fingers crossed.

5th July 2009

I've been tweaking my site a little changing colours and whatnot, Also been requesting reviews and buttons too. I've been trying to make my own buttons but I think I've got graphics block or something because I just cannot seem to make them turn out how I want. 0_o

3rd July 2009

The AA Guide

1. Take one day at a time, don't let yourself waste stupid amounts of NP on Asparagus.

2.Set yourself targets, example "I'm only going to eat one stick today".

3. Try and gradually reduce your intake of asparagus.

4. Try not to freak out at everything green, in fact remove anything green from around you to make sure you don't go crazy. (I know this page is green but it wouldn't have the same effect if it was pink 0_o)

5. Definitely DON'T wear green.

6. Take one day at a time, We have recipes below so you don't just eat asparagus by its self all day long, You need variety it will help you gradually wean yourself off.

7. Praise yourself, tell yourself your doing well.

8. Follow the tips below as it's dangerous to completely take yourself off asparagus immediately, you may have a relapse that way.

9. Use friends and family as support, talk things through, Although they can show you the door you have to walk through it.

10. Oh and most importantly try not to get asparagus juice in your eye, it does sting.

All you need to know right here....

2. Contains no fat!

3. Its Adam's favourite food.

4. It goes nicely with a hot cup of borovan (the drink not the user).

7. There is such a thing as white asparagus 0_o

8. If ridges form on your asparagus thats a sign of age, soaking in ice water will get them right as rain again (AAs please DO NOT eat out-of-date asparagus, it won't be pretty).
