About


Just the other day my husband and I walked into our local Fred Meyer, the first thing I saw just inside the produce department was asparagus, but this was not your ordinary green variety. What caught our eye was white asparagus. Neither of us had ever seen anything like it before, I can honestly say I do not like the green asparagus but this white version looked a little different. We purchased one bundle and on the way home we tried to figure out just what we were going to do with it.
