Conquering Veggies #6.3 - Office Asparagus

Once upon a time I thought asparagus was only delicious when it was a vehicle for bacon.

(Though, it is still very delicious in that way.)

Turns out that asparagus can be cooked in less than a minute in the microwave, and then with just a hit of salt it's tolerable! I might even like it. Just a little. Also this makes it ridiculously easy to take and eat at the office.

Fun fact - a bunch of asparagus should be stored
upright in water in your fridge, and my stemless
wineglass just happened to be the right size!
Also - the recipe on the tag was basically
"cook and smother in cheese." No help.

How to cook it: I took the asparagus to work in a tupperware-like container with a lid that snapped on. When I was ready to eat it, I just popped the top off, added about a tablespoon of water, set the top back on (w/o snapping it all the way shut) and microwaved it for about a minute on high. They came out so green and crisp!

The thing about asparagus, for me anyway, is that it looks so
dull and drab before you cook it. Not very enticing.

But just LOOK at how beautifully green these babies are now! YUM.

Buen provecho!
