Thank you anyway, but I think I'm covered. Really gonna miss you down
there. Also need the recipe for the pickled asparagus.

I can't tell you how much I'm going to miss this trip. It sucked last year
to be so sick that I couldn't risk wading, and this year I'm actually
feeling like I could handle Ingleby and Joel's favorite stretch.

The marinated asparagus were from Smilin' Joe, Scooter's friend from
upstate. Maybe he'll share someday - I ate plenty of those over the years.
I think a quick blanching and then a quick cool down, followed by a bath in
some olive oil, garlic and a decent vinegar would do the trick. It doesn't
need anything fancy. The local stuff just appeared at roadside stands last
week.
