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.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

     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.
