Roasted Asparagus

https://www.soscuisine.com/recipe/roasted-asparagus Quantity : 2 servings Preparation : 10 min Cooking : 10 min 90 calories/serving Ingredients 20 asparagus, average size 400 g 4 tsp olive oil 20 mL 1 pinch salt [optional] 0.2 g Method Preheat the oven to 230ºC/450ºF. Clean the asparagus, then lay them on an oiled baking tray. Coat thoroughly with oil, then season with salt. Cook in the middle of the oven until the asparagus change colour, about 8-10 min, depending on their size. Shake the tray a couple times during cooking, so that the asparagus will grill evenly.  Alternatively, asparagus may be wrapped in aluminum foil and cooked on an outdoor grill at 'medium-high'. You may also run a skewer through 5-6 asparagus just below the tip and another about 2,5 cm from the bottom, making a little raft. This double-skewer technique keeps the asparagus from slipping through the grill. For small quantities, asparagus may also be sautéed in a pan on the stovetop. Serve.

2025 Craft Space Organization Challenge ~ #9 Books and Magazines

You may recall that Challenge #8 was organizing your paper cosmetics. I have a rather large collection although I am pretty sure there are lots of you with even more. But mine ARE organized. So I am more than ready for  Challenge #9  . . . Books and Magazines Inspiration for scrapbook pages is everywhere. But what is the best way to organize it so that it's actually USEFUL? First consider cutting up your magazines and idea books, and only saving the ideas that you really plan to use. Magazines and idea books that just sit on your shelves aren't really useful. It can take hours to go through your books to find the one layout you remember. Having your ideas in a condensed form, arranged in a way that makes sense to you is much more effective. If you are able to cut up your magazines, here are some ideas for arranging them: theme (holidays, birthday, babies, pets, travel etc) number of photos used in the layout journaling ideas colours quotes techniques Now ...

How to measure correctly

Use standard measuring cups and spoons.  Measure dry ingredients before measuring liquids to save dirtying extra dishes. Part of a cup:  Use tablespoon or the smaller measuring cups -- 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 -- for greater accuracy. White sugar:  If lumpy, sift before measuring.  Do not pack down.  Level sugar off with a spatula or a straight knife. Brown sugar:  Pack firmly into cup or spoon, so that when turned out it will hold the shape of the the cups or spoon.  If lumpy, roll and sift before measuring. Syrup and molasses:  Rinse spoon or cup in cold water before measuring. Solid fats:  When fat comes in 1 lb rectangular form, 1 cup or fraction of a cup can be sliced off using the measurements generally found on the packaging.  You can also measure a cupful by packing firmly into a cup and leveling off the top with a spatula or a straight knife.  The water method may also be sued for part of a cup.  To measure 1/2 cup of fat, for in...
