Last week my husband became a fan of asparagus.

All these years he has never enjoyed it... "it's too stringy!  I can't chew it!  It doesn't taste that great!"
So how did this one recent bite of asparagus change everything?  The secret is in the way you prepare it.
My first exposure to asparagus was a good one, so even though I've had it prepared in several different ways, even ways that I don't prefer, I still list it as a vegetable I like.  If your first exposure to a vegetable is not very tasty, don't write it off right away.  Everyone's taste buds are a little different,  so you just need to experiment until you find the way you like best.
My favorite way to cook asparagus is on the grill.  Snap or cut off the woody bottoms then drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Cook directly on the grill until slightly blackened (grill lines) and just starting to shrivel.  I like them a little crispy so that I don't have to deal with the stringiness (and because it tastes good).
My brother-in-law likes to cook it in foil with garlic.  This makes it more soft and steamy.
I also like asparagus in casseroles and quiche.

Tomorrow I expect to receive some asparagus in my CSA box, along with some other delicious items.  After a less than pleasing experience at a cheap restaurant tonight, I am extra pumped to prepare some fresh organic fruit and veggies!
