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

    OK, asparagus is my secret vegetable vice.

    I love it.

    As a kid, growing up in rural north central Illinois, we used to go across the two lane blacktop in front of our acreage to the cow pasture opposite and harvest wild asparagus for dinner. That spot is now the driveway of a fire station on a four lane concrete road.

    Now I live for the days when the menu at my weekend job features asparagus sautéed in Gallic butter or my own asparagus stir fry at home.
