In reply to Carol.

Hi Carol!! I’m delighted you had such a great visit to Boston and will be back! Boston is such a neat place. Did I already tell you I took a couple of my boys to the Museum of Fine Art over school vacation? Maybe I’m repeating myself… I heard they are getting 4-8″ of the white stuff in Bangor, Maine today. So glad I live further south, because I am SO ready for spring, though it is cold and rainy here today, but at least not snow. Super excited to hear more about your countertop, sink and whatever other improvements you are doing in your kitchen! So fun and can’t wait to see pictures. In case we don’t chat again before then, wishing you a beautiful Easter! I’m looking forward to it. The last weekend of April we’re headed to a disability conference at the Mt. Washing Hotel in Bretton Woods for Hudson, hoping to learn a lot more about autism and how we can help him best. Then we’re traveling to GA in May for my niece’s wedding, so it should be nice and warm there on Mother’s Day weekend. Have a great week! XOXO

Your statement about ” spring doesn’t have a thing to do with a date on the calendar” in New Hampshire is so true. I remember one year when we had a big snow storm on the 1st of April. Mother Nature’s big joke on us. It is a good thing I wasn’t visiting when you made the asparagus as I could have eaten the other half of the tray and there would have been none left to photograph. 😀

Hi Allie!
This recipe seems so fitting for right now. This year spring has come early. So very mild, and I think your area can say the same. Now even if we do get those freak storms (but I am hoping we escape them this year) there is still that awesome feeling that spring is truly here. Easter, yay!!! And I will actually be able to make feast at my own table. Double yay!!! So glad we too a break from work, the trip to Boston was more than amazing. We are planning on going back, hopefully this fall, but if not it will be in spring.So much fun getting acquainted with new area and encountering incredible people.
We have a wait before they start to put together our island, so that is something I am eagerly anticipating. I CANNOT wait!!!! It will not only be bigger, sink relocated and beautiful quartz top, there are so many other great features that I will take pictures of and share.Only thing is this will be approximately 6 weeks from now. Oh well, it will be worth the wait.
I hope you are enjoying all the spring time goodies that you can handle. Hope you and your beautiful family are doing well.

Mmmm, loving the idea of making this dish sooner rather than later. Instead of trimming the asparagus with a knife, my Mom used to break off the ends with her hands. She’d just put both hands somewhere near the middle to end of the stems, one at a time, and snap off the ends; wherever the ends “should” break off, they do break off. Practice makes perfect — it’s fool proof, really — and no knife is needed. Thanks for that good prolonging-life storage tip!

Je crois que j’aurais pu manger la moitié de tes asperges aussi! Ils pareils tellement bon! Ici aussi, c’est la saison des asperges et j’adore!

Mother Nature sure is wacky, especially this year! It’s been warm then cold, then warm and cold on repeat this winter. I’m sure you will agree, that it makes cooking for a food blog kind of difficult. I mean, are we supposed to make salads or soups? But, one thing is for certain, I will take this wacky weather over the unbearable heat that is sure to come this summer! AND I will take a platter of asparagus ANYTIME of the year! Asparagus is definitely my favorite thing to eat come spring, and I will totally eat an entire sheet pan of roasted asparagus for dinner. So you know I’m loving yours, Allie! Asparagus and lemon is sooooo delicious together, but add in some garlic and I’m in heaven! I hope you guys are staying warm up there!! Cheers, doll! xo

Dear Allie, this winter has really thrown me for a loop! I feel the same way though, no matter what once Easter arrives it’s officially Spring! I love this simple but delicious idea for asparagus…that bright burst of lemon is a perfect finishing touch for this seasonal side. Hope all is well…stay safe and warm in this weather dear! Hugs to you~ xo, Catherine

Haha – Allie, there are so many times that “sharing” has eluded me too – even though I myself don’t oppose it! Though I have a confession – that’s not quite the truth – I think sharing is overrated sometimes – and I would have easily eaten half of these heavenly scented and delicious roasted asparagus too! What a delightful way to celebrate Spring – even though it seems to elude y’all currently. I hope Jonathan got back to Uni safely (if his spring break ended – if it hasn’t, I know you will be enjoying yalls time together for sure!
Happy Monday sweet friend! Hope you have a wonderful week and things warm up soon!
