I don't have asparagus but heard it goes well with salmon and a parsley sauce.
I just sent him my CV and (kindly) said I know you've probably forgotten me by now but I need a reference for a job. It was a bit difficult to track him down as he was retired, but he still provided it within a couple of weeks. I'm pretty sure non-retired academics are obliged to provide a reference.

Ok Emily, here's how I found a postdoc. I found a supervisor who looked interesting and his group website indicated that he was happy to receive CV's from viva-pending students.
I sent it off with a cover letter affirming his brilliance and my desire to join his group and make him more brilliant. He was very pleased, and I was offered an interview. I start in a few weeks.
