White Asparagus

The food scene here is a disappointment.  Daily, we miss the pride and quality of the Portland food culture.  From grocery stores, to markets, to restaurants...we continue to be underwhelmed.  However, each spring the dutch get extremely excited about the arrival of white asparagus.  Last year at this time I was too new to realize the big deal.  This year I'm on it...and plan to explore the possibilities that this veggie has to offer.  The season is short, so I need to get on it.
