Do again? Yes


To store in refrigerator: cut off bottom of stems and place
in container with water. Change water each day.

Preparation:
Cut into bite-size pieces.
Rinse in colander.
Heat a Tbs of butter (more or less to taste) in pan.
Sauté asparagus in butter for 3-4 minutes.
Sprinkle with salt.
(You could try a lighter oil or broth or just
water instead of the butter like I did.)

Family Review:
10 y.o. - is fine with it
9 y.o. - likes it
5 y.o. - doesn't like it but gets points for trying
Hubby - "You've done better." -- He thought he was trying green beans when I gave him the taste-test. When I told him it was asparagus, he was more pleased. He said it was good (for asparagus -- my words).
Me - I'm not a fan of asparagus. I liked the crunchiness, though. It was a little bitter but I ate it with my rice.
