I got a PM the other day requesting this simple recipe for asparagus and Prosciutto. Marinate the asparagus in the following, for at least two hours, refrigeration not required. I like to use a zip lock bag to hold everything. -about a pound of asparagus, washed and dried off -1/2 cup of olive oil -1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar -a table spoon of both kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper -sweet red pepper cut to roughly the same diameter as your asparagus spears -as much chopped garlic as you like Combine these ingredients and let sit for at least two hours. (I sometimes will also add a firm, smoked cheese, again, cut into spears, the same size as the asparagus.) You do not need to marinate the cheese! Roll three or four asparagus spears (depending on how big they are) with a spear of the pepper and a spear of the cheese in one slice of prosciutto, ensuring that if you are using cheese, that the cheese is in the middle of the roll. Hold it all together with a tooth pic. Grill the "rollie" at med to high heat, until the prosciutto browns and the cheese is starting to melt. I sometimes will add a cherry tomato onto the ends of the tooth pic to make it look nicer! I would advise anyone who makes this, to make more than you think you will need as I have NOT had anyone who has tried this, not request more! Funny story here about this recipe... it was my first ever Quinte GTG with OFNer's and I was sharing a cottage with FishnSled. I made these rollies, along with a steak and some potatoes and FnS just loved it! Next door, Terry, Wayne and I think Dano were sharing a cottage and since I had many left overs, I thought I would offer them to the boys. They loved them as well and I came to learn that Leah had been trying for years to get Wayne to eat asparagus, to no avail. The first time I met Leah, she congratulated me for getting Wayne to eat it... and I think he really did like it! Enjoy.... sorry, I don't have a pic for you, but I think some others who I have shared this recipe with in the past, might have some pics! HH

Thanks again folks! I expect that I'll break down and do up a report, a rear rarity for me! LOL I can see the guy at the Dollar Store rubbing his hands watchin me fill up my cart! I do have a pair of two way radios I can bring.. HH

That looks like a bit of fun!!!!! HH

Thanks for the list adempsey! Mike, yah this will be my first and I'm getting more excited by the day! HH

If I could fit him into the kit Lew, it would be a done deal! Do smelt have any medicinal attributes? LMAO HH

Thanks again everyone! Brian, I couldn't in good faith deprive you of your smelt! That said, a good feed of smelt would certainly curb my appetite for a few days! LOL Mike, do let un know how your trip went... Counting the days!!!! HH

Thanks for all the responses folks! Much appreciated! We are flying out of White River Air and fishing Jembi (SP) Lake. Leaving the middle of July for four days. Drew, I'm sure we'll have a report up upon our return. Hoping to feast on the Pickereye every day and maybe find us some gators lookin for a lickin! HH

I'll be going on my first ever fly in, in about a months time. The boys I am going with have been providing me with insight as to what I need and to be sure to keep things light. Thanks Will! I'm just wondering if any of you have something that you find in-valuable on a fly in, that doesn't normally get packed by others. Yah, I'm a little bored on a rainy Friday afternoon but thought it would be interesting to hear what you folks have to say. Many thanks for your contributions. HH

Yah got me hungry and I just ate lunch!!! The Prosciutto/Asparagus is a keeper for sure... HH

Joey, I would trim the fat off those chops. Also, consider also adding some roasted peppers to that "rollie". They look great! When I use chops for this type of thing, I usually butterfly them, then beat the crap out of them. Be sure to use saran wrap when you are beating them as it helps to stop them from sticking to the mallet and creating dead spots. Also, try Panko crumbs for a crunchier coating. (Although your looks pretty crispy to me!) Spiel, those ribs look fantastic!!!!!! HH Edit to add... why not add an asparagus spear or two to that rollie!

A paid banner ad supporting the site would put you in the good books here. It's not a lot of money, but gets you in the face of many fishing folks. Something to consider... HH

As a kid fishing Springbank Park in London, tossing a minnow, no weight into the bottom of the falls at the dam could net you these fish all day long. Caught a few on Quinte in the spring and decided to keep one to try a fish fry... well that won't be happening again! HH

Heading up for three days this weekend. I don't expect to catch anything that will fall in the slot and allow me to have a meal. And I certainly don't expect to bring any fish home... Will report back our findings... HH

Well, it's such a cool song, I would have guessed that it was a cold front! LOL HH

Most of the time when I have met up with them, the exchange has been quick and courteous. What I do have an issue with, is the fines applied to slight indiscretions. Are they really out there to provide a service or are they out there generating revenue? HH

Thanks for posting, looks like fun! Is an "Eminence Front" a cold front or a warm front? LOL HH

I wouldn't worry too much as the Asian Carp will probably get them. HH

I bet he would just love to play for Kennan! LOL HH

I'd like to be a fly on the wall when Kessell tells Babcock "yah, we're not gonna do that" like he did to the assistant coach last year. HH

Safe to assume that pluckin an eye ball here or there for perch bait is not acceptable either? HH

We made beer can canons when we were kids. The old tin beer cans for those of us old enough to remember them, made great canons. Get 5 beer cans and cut the bottoms and tops off of four of them. The remaining can, make a hole with a nail at the bottom side of the can, opposite side of the push/pull opening at the top. This can is your bottom can. Tape all five together with duct tape. Drop in a few drops of lighter fluid and push a tennis ball down the top of the canon, into the second can from the top. I believe that there is a youtube link if you search beer can canon. HH

If you are just wanting to fix it, so you can sell the apartment, I'd look at some of the used appliance shops. They'll deliver, you'll save money and they come with a short term guarantee. That should cover the short term goal. HH

Well, I can only describe my feeling on the matter... the absolute last thing I want to do is hit anybody! I take a great deal of time and caution when bikes are on the road. That means that passing a bike is something I take very seriously and will only do so when the time and space are available to me. To have them then run roughshod over the rules of the road by passing me on the right only makes a difficult situation, more challenging. I just want the bike in my rear view so I don't have to worry about the bike and all the other crap going on in front of me. Another poster in this thread has admitted that they would never wait in line with cars and will circumvent the law and common sense any ole time he feels like it. That's where the hate on for bikes is derived from. HH

I did ask the officer I spoke with why they don't enforce the law and was told there simply aren't enough officers available to do so. Akrisoner, at least you know that you are breaking the law. So is everyone else! My intent was not to bash bikes or their riders, just to find out about the law. HH

I've caught two Largies on the same Rapala, J11 once... but never pickereyes! What a coup! HH
