I know people have posted recipes for asparagus. Help a sister out?

Am too tired to threadsuck, and also am cleaning bathroom.

shrift, there was some asparagus cooking discussion in Natter 43, starting around here: Perkins "Natter 43: I Love My Dead Gay Whale Crosspost." Apr 4, 2006 12:40:25 pm PDT

When the naked guy used to come into the library, he was always kind enough to put a bandana down before sitting on our chairs. Mad as a hatter, but much more polite than many of our other patrons.

Roll it in olive oil, season it with salt and pepper, and then roast it until done, but not floppy. (400?) Melt half a stick of butter, add a lemon's worth of juice, and then add toasted, skinned, chopped hazelnuts. Pour this over the roasted asparagus. Serve. [Corwood recommends 375 degrees if using ceramic pan in oven]

Flat pan, drizzle asparagus with some extra-virgin olive oil, sprinkle with some course salt & bit of pepper, toss into the oven.

YUM!

I grilled asparagus last night after marinating them in olive oil and lemon juice for 1/2 hour.

Thanks, Calli and Cindy! I know what I'll be making as soon as the bathroom cleaners stop making me light-headed.

Now I want asparagus. Really badly, but probably not badly enough to take all three kids to the good produce store. My mother roasted it with olive oil, salt, and pepper for Easter. It was excellent.

IOnotNews I've now just logged onto my e-mail three times in a row, searching for particular information. But once my e-mail has loaded, I've read something else, then logged off. The last time, I even located the document for which I'm looking, but instead of reading it, sent an e-mail to someone on the dl.

Brain? Dead. I might as well have gone to the F2F.

We found *really* good, fresh asparagus down at the $0.99 store, and bought a ton. We're going to have asparagus risotto tonight, and possibly buying a whole bunch more (if they last long, at that price) and freezing some.

I'm not helping, am I?

I just love that you're talking casually about asparagus risotto, without the words "moldy" or "out of a tube" anywhere in sight! Clearly, S has been a very good influence.

I now have asparagus in the oven as a reward for all the responsible things I have done today.
