eating: asparagus

Rainy Saturday. Quick trip to the farmers' market in hopes that asparagus was finally being harvested around these parts. Three dollars per pound and worth every penny for the happiness factor. Primarily thin, tender stalks that will be delightful lightly sauteed in lemon olive oil and dusted with sea salt. Lunchtime can't come soon enough.

I feel like I've also seen recipes for raw shaved asparagus in salad form.; April 17, 2011 at 2:43 PM
