This week I prepared a wonderful quiche - asparagus and leeks, with paper-thin Roma tomato slices on top of the cheesy vegetable-filled custard, Provence-style, sort of.

I like my aspargus spears to be no thicker than pencils, I don't know if this is wrong or unnecessary. Favorite way to eat them: a little clear soup to deglaze a pan in which I braised pork or beef, cook aspargus until most of the liquid is gone, eat with melted butter.

I just steam them and sprinkle on some olive oil and kosher flake salt. Yum.

That quiche sounds delicious. And I strongly agree that excessive girth is undesirable in asparagus.

Most of my family likes asparagus but my mom doesn't. Whenever we cook it, she just sits in the corner, disparaginous.

I grilled asparagus along with other marinated vegs including spring garlic, eggplant, sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, zucchini, red peppers and onions at my eldest daughter's college graduation party in Kansas City, Missouri over the weekend. The spring garlic and eggplant slices were the big hit among the vegs. The mahi-mahi steaks were the favorite among the non-veg fare.
