It's very much appreciated. <BR/><BR/>Secondly, I have just pedaled home furiously from work in time for the Apprentice and my dinner of toasted rye bread, scrambled eggs and fresh poached asparagus. I finished it with a drizzle of olive oil, some sea salt and parmesan.

I serve them with a drizzle of balsamic reduction and a sprinkling of blue cheese or fresh Parmesan shavings.LisaRenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17033748967210196808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780447680661720141.post-91927830955396029252008-05-18T17:01:00.000+00:002008-05-18T17:01:00.000+00:00Sylvie - I like white asparagus too, but green is ...Sylvie - I like white asparagus too, but green is my favourite!
