Spring!

Garden asparagus frittata for dinner last night, with cornbread and fresh organic strawberries. Sigh of contentment.

I'm also happy to have another way to use asparagus. Our patch has become migratory and is threatening to take over the adjacent plot. Theory says that this advance will halt at the paved area under the clothes line, but I am not sanguine on this point, having seen what ferns can do to parking lots.

That sounds lovely.
There are some good Chinese and Japanese vegetarian asparagus dishes, including a couple that are served cold.

I'll throw asparagus in stir fries with whatever else I can find in the garden. I usually have store-bought carrots and broccoli, and either yellow onions or overgrown green ones from the garden. Mostly, I use baked tofu for the protein (along with the brown rice) but Dave doesn't care for tofu in general and fresh tofu in particular, so I try not to inflict that on him too often.

Can you point me toward other options?
