The answer to that question is
ASPARAGUS! It's spring and that means asparagus coming out the ears. I've been buying a bunch every time I go to the store or market. The Gardening blogs I read tell me that asparagus are easy to grow and I really want to try that once I have the giant garden I'm dreaming of. Until then, I'm going to buy a ton of asparagus when they're in season. Produce tastes so much better when it's in season.
Anyway, I've been making some yummy stuff with those asparagus. First I saw on a cooking show that asparagus naturally snap where they should when you bend them. So no knife necessary! I discovered this spring how good asparagus are when grilled. Much better flavor than boiled. And you don't need to put oil on top, just a bit of salt & pepper.
