Roasted Asparagus
I saw my first asparagus of the season at my grocery store the other night. Course, I also saw my first RAT at the store that night too, so...THERE IS THAT.
I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried.
She was in the produce section, picking up some salad. I have no doubt she then headed home to her family and was promptly asked "Whatjya getme? Whatjya getme? What? You bought lettuce? LETTUCE?! Where are the chips? The dip? And for rat's sake, THE CHEESE?" And then all the little ratlings would have run off to play while Mama Rat spent the next three hours putting her lettuce away.
Hypothetically speaking, of course.
ASPARAGUS!
Is in season!
Here's one way I like to make asparagus, especially when I have too many other things happening on the stove. You might also like my Asparagus and Rice Salad, Spicy Asparagus Spears, and a tip for separating the woody part of the stalk from the good part.
Enjoy your asparagus. And remember: WASH IT FIRST.
Roasted Asparagus
2 pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed
1/4 cup butter, melted
2-4 green onions, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
Place asparagus in a shallow baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray. Combine the butter and green onions; spoon over asparagus. Sprinkle with salt. Bake, uncovered, at 425 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned.

haha you are too cute. I will never think about rats/mice the same way again. Now I will always picture the rat putting away her lettuce in her tiny refrigerator. :-)
Oooh, I love asparagus, and this recipe sounds so yummy! Thanks for sharing.
Yummy!
I love roasted asparagus!
Not rats though :)
Asparagus is in season. That sounds so hopeful...a vegetable-garden sign of spring.
I love it roasted, too.
You know, my Food on Fridays recipe using endives? My Belgian sister-in-law has done the exact same recipe wrapping several pieces of asparagus with a strip of prosciutto or ham. She even does a little handful of longish green beans for the kids. It's not very healthy, but it's tasty and different.
