Spring As Asparagus

The air is chilly but the slant of the light says Spring, the sound of the air says Sunday.  So, asparagus.  And wine.  Because it is late Sunday afternoon early in Spring.  There are so many good things you can cook with a pan or sheet of asparagus, including olives, not excluding ham.

Today it's almonds and garlic skillet toasted in olive oil.  Plus more olive oil and asparagus spears, plus feta cheese, oven roasted on a baking sheet.

New potatoes sliced and browned in olive oil.

Sausages browned in left over pork juices.

Plus a bottle of young Austrian wine brought back as a gift -- one of the light wines served in the spring called generically "Asparagus Wine."

El V feels sumptuously spoiled.

So much depends on brunch . . . breakfast . . . lunch . . . dinner . . . supper . . . .
