Hi There, made this the other night and the residents kept asking what it was! They ate every bit that was on their plates! So, we decided to put it on their "menu" once every couple of weeks. I am very happy that we could share in this cook-a-thon! We will serve it in "Cafe Ponce", our new in-house restaurant which has an a la carte menu and the special of the day is what is served to the rest of the home!! However, instead of almond extract - I just added the nuts. Thanks so much for sharing, Diane :)

I will have to say that after I read this recipe I was intrigued and had to try it. My nephew LOVED it and he can't stand eating asparagus. I tried it out on the family for Sunday dinner and once most of it was eaten, I volunteered the fact that it was aspargus. They didn't believe me. I did make a substitution of vanilla extract instead of almond as I didn't have any in my pantry, but I don't think that made that much of a difference. This was more a jello salad type dish to me and I will be making it again.

I'm sorry but I didn't like this recipe at all. I'm a very open-minded person when it comes to ingredients. Even though it seemed like there was no way this could taste right I gave it a shot anyways. I've been surprised before. I like all the ingredients...just not mixed together. The flavors popped for me as well...right out of my mouth.
