Which is the true adage? Any pulbicity is good gublicity? Or Too much negative publicity sinks the campaign?
Now that several judge candidates have been "outed" so to speak for improprieties or perceived improprieties on the campaign trail, will all this exposure in the press help or hurt their campaigns? What about the ones who so far have stayed above the fray? Should they wallow in the mud with the rest, or hold their heads up high?
Only time will tell. But all campaigns are ramping up. More mailers, TV ads, Facebook rants - who knows what to expect?
Is the legal business a lofty profession or just a bunch of sleazeballs looking for the next ambulance to chase? A little of both. As a lawyer myself, I like to think the best of my colleagues. Personally, I'm looking for ethics, consistency, compassion and a strong grounding in the law from my judges. That and a showing of respect for all who enter the courtroom, from litigants, to the other lawyers, to victims of crimes and those accused of crimes, to the jurors who give up their time, and often money from their jobs to serve.
If they can't keep their campaigns out of the muck and mire, what will their courtrooms be like?
Think on it.
A happy Memorial Day to all. Here's a little something to throw on the barbie while you wade through all those flyers you've saved from your mailbox over the last few weeks. You have saved them all, for a deliberative decision making process, haven't you?
Prosciutto wrapped asparagus seems to be my new latest addiction. It is... mmm..... mmmm
good. I know, I know, another post on asparagus huh? I have grilled
these three times in the last couple of weeks, so had to write about
it. They are just so simple to make and very tasty! Trim, wash, wrap,
brush with olive oil, season, and throw them on the grill. It's a slam
dunk!
Grilled Prosciutto wrapped asparagus is a great appetizer but I like
them as a side dish as well. I recently paired them with grilled Cornish Games Hens.
As I mentioned in a previous post, we do love asparagus in our home
and it is asparagus season here in northern California. The
earthiness of the Asparagus is enhanced by grilling. Add the thinly
sliced Prosciutto and you are really onto something. Asparagus has
always been one of my favorite grilled veggies and this recipe moves it
up the list for sure.
The sweet, savory, salty taste of the grilled Prosciutto along with the
smoky, rich earthy flavor of the grilled asparagus sits well on the
palate. It is a wonderful little finger food to go along with a nice
glass of wine. Prosecco or Cava is
a good pairing for this as an appetizer. Sauvignon Blanc and
Chardonnay also pair very well. The thicker fat asparagus work well
wrapped individually while the smaller ones are better nicely wrapped in
bundles of three or four.
I like my asparagus with a little firmness left in them. If they get a
little too done, they can be mushy and lose some of that great flavor.
The great thing about Prosciutto is that because it is so thinly
sliced, it will crisp up easily and you won't have to worry about
overcooking the asparagus to do so.
If you like asparagus, give this recipe a try as an appetizer or side
dish. It will be something you will make again and again!
Until next time, Happy Grilling!
