Asparagus Season!

Yes!! That great time of year is fast approaching (even though winter doesn't seem to be receding), the growing season! When we get fabulous fresh fruits and vegetables from our own yards or farmers' markets. One of the first things to appear in the spring is asparagus and so you should be seeing a lot of more it in stores and on restaurant menus for the next few weeks. Look for thin stalks with little white at the bottom, that don't look (or worse yet - feel) dried out. I like to steam or grill them, but if they are thin enough you could just eat them raw like I did last night, when I caught a glimpse of these little guys popping their heads up in our garden : )
