Asparagus

The asparagus are on! 

We've had asparagus soup already, as well as a new recipe.  Rather than boil or steam the asparagus and serve with cheese sauce, I fried it up in butter with onion, garlic, salt, and pepper.  Yum!  Today Ann did some in the oven with olive oil, salt, and pepper - another winner. 

So far all but one of our stalks has come from the asparagus we started a few years ago, and only one stalk from the plants we planted last fall.  But I suppose that's to be expected.  Looking forward to lots more asparagus this season!
