Thank you! I'm celebrating with a virgin Moscow Mule while I wait for my sparkling non-alcoholic wine to chill.  I am also getting 2 pounds of asparagus ready to roast. That's my treat to myself.  |

I'm going to be selfish and tell you that I am glad you got sober because I was worried about you and didn't want to lose you.  |

Roasted asparagus An extended treat for youself this time of year is the price of fresh asparagus goes down for a month or two. Enjoy. ETA: Empress - do you like mushrooms? I like sauteeing fresh mushrooms with fresh asparagus in a bit of olive oil and garlic. Nice and earthy. |

We roasted some asparagus for the first time ever 2 nights ago, and it was awesome. (Per the instructions in the recipe, we discarded about 1/2 of each stalk, but they were awesome.)

I don't save or use them, but if you like cream of asparagus soup, save the lower part of the spears. The tougher outside can be pared off, and the inside will become softer/tender in the soup making process. |
