Asparagus

So, Amy and I realize that we're not the healthiest people, and that our variety of veggies is sorely lacking. This year, we decided that we were going to learn to like asparagus. We had a good experience with it at the wedding reception over the weekend, so when Amy saw some asparagus in the store, she bought some.

For a first try, I think Amy did well. She followed directions (which is questionable in my book, but Amy likes to do so), and did OK. I think next time we need to cut down on the cook time. I prefer my veggies to have a little snap to them. But, the taste was pretty OK, and we're willing to try again.
