I was about to add that an asparagus patch is one helluva lot of work. I worked my tuchus off and was so disappointed with my return on investment.

Now, having said that, I just bought two bunches of asparagus for $1.97 each. I roasted them in the oven in sesame oil and today chopped some up for a morning omelet. Put mozzarella balls on the inside and warmed up a tortilla.

Totally out of this world.
