A couple of weeks ago, our vet left
us a package in our mailbox.
Even without the
phone call to inform us of said package, we would have known it was from him.
Mike kindly left us a surprise gift of fresh asparagus. Our son was visiting, so Glenn decided to make the asparagus while Matt was home since Matt is always asking for vegetables. Corn, he reminds us, is not a vegetable.
Glenn grilled the asparagus
spears quickly with a bit of olive oil.
That’s it. Pure asparagus prepared
with a bit of crunch. Both Glenn and
Matt devoured the rare treat. Their
final bites ended, in unison, with, “I could have had more, it was so good!”
Now, how would we
have known the unmarked gift was from our vet?
The details are in
the packaging. The asparagus was wrapped
and placed inside an unused (I stress UNUSED) arm-long plastic glove - the kind
any vet utilizes to conduct internal exploratory bovine exams. True to the country spirit of using what is
handy and available (see blog - Flat
Tire 5-18-15), Mike was using what he had handy.
It worked!
