Both are about asparagus! Stop perpetuating The Big Lie!

I'm looking at the NYT asparagus thing and I'm failing to see how they're "startlingly similar." They both mention the potato peeler, I guess.

Found it just after I hit post, of course. It was in the New York Times, and it's startlingly similar. "Fat or Skinny Asparagus? Both Have Merits" http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/17/dining/17mini.html

I could swear I've read this same article almost verbatim, all the way down to the vegetable peeler (which I'd never heard of before & rainy day roasting, in another publication within the past few days. But for the life of me I can't find it. Has this piece been poached (legally or otherwise) from someplace else?

the grilled with parmesan is exactly how i like to make mine, but i also sprinkle on some lemon juice & ground pepper after basting.

Google says it's cutters. Also, Jesus Christ is more popular than the Beatles.

We used to be snappers because one of Cook's Illustrated's cookbooks recommended it. Then we saw them on America's Test Kitchen saying you can just use a knife, and that technique was featured in their magazine. Apparently they've changed their position on this. And we definitely have.
