Asparagus and NPR

This is what I woke up this morning thinking of:

Because of spending hours each day now, listening to NPR, to at least become worldly and educated while filling the emptiness of sitting and dropping seeds in trays. And because the only thing that's growing out at the seed company is asparagus.

But: that asparagus! 'White Angel' is the variety and it is so delicious. There's a rather vast bed of it and I trot out there with an eager bag and snap away. I roasted some deluged in olive oil and lemon and my Mum and I stood over the pan, compulsively eating the tender bending dripping spears. Oh first vegetables of spring!
