Raw, steamed, roasted, grilled: For two months straight, I ate asparagus like I was savoring each minute of spring.
  • Ahhhhh Spring!

    I found this article to be a delight from beginning to end, particularly in light of the current news. It's a breath of fresh air, and I'm sending it to everyone I know who appreciates fine writing and good food. Roasted asparagus is my new favorite way to eat it: ten minutes in a 400 degree oven, drizzled in olive oil, coarse salt and fresh-ground pepper, eaten by hand, dipped in Hellman's mayonnaise into which a little fresh lemon juice has been squeezed. There is nothing better and nothing more needed except, perhaps, a glass of Champagne? Thanks, Phoebe.
