Topic: asparagus
First asparagus harvest of the year. The biggest stalks have grown about six inches a day the last two days. These are from old established plants. The younger plants, only there about two years, just have a few small less-than-little-finger thickness stems coming up.
Fresh just-picked asparagus has a nutty flavor and a crisp texture unlike any asparagus I've ever bought from a store.
