Today’s focus is on Asparagus:
Asparagus are elegant and delicious! Truly in season right now, you can pick them up on sale 
everywhere. Lots of fiber, easy to cook; delicious to eat. I’ll tell you how!
Here’s today’s TRICK:
SMELL the tops of the asparagus in the store. The tips should NOT be slimy and stinky! Look for ends that aren’t dried out and woody. Some people like thicker asparagus, I prefer the pencil thin variety—you need to decide that one based on your own personal preference.
Here’s a TIP:
My grocery store keeps the asparagus standing upright in water to keep them fresh. You can do this yourself when you bring them home and they’ll last for days in your fridge.
And your RECIPE:
(Okay, this isn’t truly a “recipe” recipe, but more of a fun tip on how to asparagus on the grill. Believe me, you’ll be in heaven!)
Make a “raft” out of the asparagus using presoaked bamboo skewers (soak the bamboo in water for 30 minutes before barbecuing to prevent them from igniting) and brushing the asparagus with a little olive oil before hand. Let me tell you, asparagus on the grill is just a little slice of heaven. (watch me make them for you, http://savingdinner.tv)
After you’ve made grilled asparagus on the grill, you won’t want them any other way!
