yummy asparagus

I LOVE fresh asparagus and can't wait until the Spring when it is bountiful in the stores and at Farmer's Markets, and I am always trying to find different ways to make it. This is one of my favorites. It can be done in the oven, or if you're grilling out, you can wrap it up in foil and throw it on the grill along side the steaks. Cooking it outside gives it an entirely different taste from the smoke of the meat. With summer just around the corner, give it a try and let me know what you think.
