I am glad you made this and liked it. Asparagus is only really good when really fresh. It can get woody and dry and kind of nasty when it is dried out and old. Or it can get rubbery and slimy and have a weird fishy smell. Neither of which is good. Try it again next spring when the asparagus is as fresh as you can get it, and see the difference. It is a striking one. (Zak had only had bad asparagus before--and he hated it. Then, I introduced it to him fresh--and he is now in love with it. And this from the man who used to eat no vegetables!)

While we craved for the spicy goodness that it offers on this rainy droopy day, we were in no mood to drive through the bad weather to get a bite. No matter how strong a craving, I always feel that there must be a solution to it. And on this day, I found it in my kitchen.
