Asparagus Season

I love asparagus. Don't you? I love it so much that I wrote a haiku.
Asparagus,
The tasty goodness
of your green simplicity
makes my belly sing.
Only another month until it's asparagus season here in Wisconsin.  I'm excited to go on long walks with Layla to forage for wild asparagus. Since we don't have a garden of our own, We'll probably end up robbing my mother's garden for a few of her large Martha Washingtons too.
I like asparagus best when it's kept simple. It's long stalks sauteed in olive oil with a sprinkle of salt. It's super easy to make when I feel like making a lazy dinner. How about you? How do you like your asparagus?  Does it inspire you to write poetry too?  Or do you hate it and write  other vegetable poetry instead? Either way, tell me. I'd love to hear about it.

The Discovery Of Kale.

I Finally went and did it.  I bought myself some kale at the farmers market. And you know what? It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I didn't juice it or do any of the cool ways to "hide" kale that have been all over Pinterest lately. I just cooked it the good old fashioned way by sautéing it up for lunch on Monday with an egg, spinach, mushrooms and onions. Added a dash of hot sauce and yum yum.
Which makes me wonder, what other delicious healthy foods have I been missing? Do you have any suggestions for what I should try next?
