Asparagus and strawberries are in season where I live. I will be at the farmer’s market bright and early on Saturday to get my fix.

The Betty Crocker email newsletter this week, had a strawberry pie. I’m not sure about the pretzel crust - I have an unfortunate history with pretzels; but YMMV. I think I’d do it with a graham crust:

We had asparagus tonight - on the outdoor charcoal grill. For me, this is the only way to go; it avoids the mushiness that I always find when simply roasting them in the oven. I also think the thicker the asparagus, the better the flavor but that’s just me.

I also picked up strawberries at our local farmer’s market. I wonder if the warm weather in February hastened their arrival. I’ve only had fresh local strawberries in June!
