Love to grill asparagus. Its a month away here.

+1 Grilled fresh asparagus is how I got my wife to like to like asparagus. It is also the best.

I mostly just eat it fresh.  But, the blanc ones get a special cheese sauce and
lightly microwaved.  Also when it comes on strong from my patch, I will blanch
it and flash freeze it for a day later in summer.

The blanching technique works very well- far better than ICF vegetables from the store IMO. Seems like they hold up better in the freezer and also taste "fresher" once used.

We just planted our first crown this year. Can't wait to see what comes up next spring. 
I do believe I will have artichokes this year.

Even better is grilled asparagus wrapped in prosciutto. I could eat that by the truckload.

Does "Weed n Feed"  Really kill dandelions? And any horror stories about tree injury?

This begs the question: When has the sentence " I wish this wasn't wrapped in prociuotto" ever been uttered?

True. But they wish they could have it.

If no-one was looking I bet they'd eat it.

responses in order:
whenever there is grilled aspargus wrapped in prociuotto on the menu where I am eating.
Exactly.
Only because I want the aspargus inside.

My wife's family loves prosciutto, and I have never eaten it. I would be sick all day if I did. I'm a pescatarian, but it's been so long since I've eaten something like that and I have long since given up any desire for meat. Except my ma's corn beef and cabbage on st. Pats. That is pure torture to be around. Still not a hard decision for me.

It's not quite the same, but smoked salmon would make a passable pescatarian alternative for prosciutto around the aforementioned grilled asparagus.

Now that sounds really good.

I have done this before. I can no longer eat meat and even when I did acceptable prociutto was impossible to find so smoked salmon was a good substitute. Believe it or not my girlfriend mad watermelon prociutto by placing watermelon slices between two blocks of himilayan salt. It was a nice summer snack. Today I am making gravlax from some salmon that a friend caught yesterday in the Quabbin Reservoir.
