While the rest of the family has left over beef casserole tomorrow I'm going to try this. I got some lovely asparagus at the markets and was wondering what to try.

I hope you enjoy it sue_h 

Another recipe I like is Rich Vegetable Sauce
You can give also that one a try some other time since you like asparagus

The only problem with asparagus is... when you go to the bathroom it does smell!!! 
Well... I've just recently found out that your pee might smell when you have asparagus. I almost thought there was something wrong with me!
