There's a lot of positive talk about coconut oil, it has a nice tolerance
for high temperatures. In cold weather it is a solid, in the summer it will
be a liquid if left out of the fridge. I find it much less obvious in
things than the taste of olive oil. I have been using it in cooking.

On the asparagus, I think it tastes great but have never observed the urine
smell from it.

Paprika, there are different kinds of paprika, hot and not hot. I don't
doubt the remarks about differences in tasting it but there also is a
difference in typesl.
