Fresh Asperigus

I picked some fresh asparagus from the garden today.
It's one of the very best tasting veggies on the planet.
Many people seem to prefer the very slender/skinny shoots but larger is tastier.
My favorite method of preperation is simply rinse them off in cold water,
sprinkle a little salt pn them and then nuke them covered.
For about ten minutes on half power.
Some people snap the trunk of the shoot down toward the base
where the green and white portions meet,
but if realy fresh you don't need to do this.
No need for butter or mayonaise or any other type of condement.
You get to taste the beauty of the aspargus and the salt,Wonderful.
They are best when they still have just a slight crunch as you bite into them.
Steamed in the microwave we eat them without anything on them.
I know it sounds bland but you can then taste the natural sweetness
of the asparagus by itself.
