Wow, you are an asparagus lover!
(I remember reading that in the old days, there were signs in public buildings politely requesting that the patrons not relieve themselves in the spittoons, during asparagus season :-)

Avoided it like the plague most of my life. Even remember an old Steve Landesburg joke about it.
But the last four years ... - it started with some grilled asparagus with butter.
Wish I could send you a pic of my skillet asparagus with the bacon on top!
