Spread fresh asparagus onto a cookie sheet, drizzle with olive oil then sprinkle with sea salt(I use coarse ground sea salt). Broil for 5 minutes. If you have a charcoal grill going, toss the asparagus on the grill after removing from broiler for about another 5 minutes or so to get the smokey taste. YUM!<BR/>Okay, now I've made myself hungry!<BR/>Have a great week.<BR/>Lisaraccoonlover1963/Lisa Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02529006597210786583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1795387901232045644.post-62605738759455227892008-10-22T21:40:00.000-05:002008-10-22T21:40:00.000-05:00Susie, so nice of you to drop by, and say hello. ...Susie, so nice of you to drop by, and say hello.

I think I have seen where you plant the roots one year and the next the plant produces.<BR/><BR/>Beckie-Grits are wonderful. I especially like them with cheese.<BR/><BR/>Kanak-That's interesting that is the same spinach you wrote about. I had forgotten that. I'm going to go back and look at that post again. I'm glad I got to see the spinach you grow. How neat that is!<BR/>The taste was really good too!<BR/><BR/>Darla-I've never seen such big tomatoes. The plants were all gorgeous and the tomatoes themselves looked delicious!<BR/><BR/>Sis-This asparagus was actually grown out meaning the airy foliage was the tips.

They look so yum!<BR/>That's the spinach I'd written about in my earlier post. It's just that mine's the smaller variety but the taste , the colour, the seedheads--the same.

Fresh grits, one of my favorites, but you can keep the boiled peanuts. This was really and interesting show.
