    i've NEVER tried asparagus before, i always thought it looked ilke it'd be hard, and like your eating a branch or something. lol

    then a couple weeks ago, my friend came over, and brought some asparagus...
    and i was like... eewww, thats gross..

    so he cooks it, along with green beans, onions, and a couple other stuff...
    he takes one to try it, and he offers me a try..

    and im like.. eew, no, its okay, i dont like asparagus. and he was like... have you TRIEd it? and i was like no....

    then eventually i finally tried it and i was like... WHOA, its not as bad as i thought it'd be at all!!! infact, i think its one of my favorite vegetables now...

    can't believe i've avoided this awesomeness for years, because of the way it looked. lol.

    my mouth waters when i think about it.. mmmm.

    I didn't try asparagus until I was about 15. Now I love it. I even eat it raw.

    While I like the way it smells, thats as far as it goes with me.

    Marinated artichoke hearts. Thats my perversion nowadays.

    I like em with sauteed onions, and mushrooms with garlic butter., with a little bit of crisp. I go to my local farmers market and buy lots and make em on the grill in foil packets.. MMMM
