Soetimes the simple recipes are the best. At 82 (as of today) my taster
no longer does "subtle". So I likes the bold flavors.  Bv)=

Fingered out where I'm going to put my asparagus bed. Now all I have
to do is find a willing kid to dig the trench for the roots. I haven't
been able to run an idiot stick since my doctor told me to cease.

Here's a bold flavour asparagus recipe. The problem I found is that it's
so *bold* that I can't taste the asparagus. Just the other main items.

Sure does liven up a party, though.

      Title: Bacon-Wrapped Sriracha Asparagus
 Categories: Five, Sides, Pork, Vegetables, Chilies
      Yield: 15 Servings
 
      1 lb Sliced smoked bacon
      1 lb Fresh asparagus spears;
           - trimmed
      5 tb Shark Brand Sriracha sauce *
 
  * "Rooster (Huy Fong) sauce may be substituted but be
  sure to stir into it a healthy pinch of garlic powder.
  
  Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  
  Divide asparagus into sets of 3 spears; push 1 toothpick
  through the asparagus bases and 1 toothpick near the tops
  to secure the sets.
  
  Spread about 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce along the entire
  length of each slice of bacon.
  
  Secure a slice of bacon to the asparagus using the
  toothpick at the base of the asparagus and wrap bacon,
  sriracha-side facing inwards, around asparagus, securing
  the other end of the bacon to the top toothpick; repeat
  with remaining bacon and asparagus. Place wrapped
  asparagus sets in the bottom of a disposable aluminum foil
  pan.
  
  Cook on the preheated grill, turning asparagus sets
  occasionally, until bacon is cooked through and crisp,
  about 20 minutes.
