When we picked up our order this month, we overheard a couple of people trading. The one loved artichokes and traded kiwis for extra artichokes. The sign-off table had no objections to people trading as long as the individuals involved were accepting of the trade-off. I have found that we like to try the new things when there is the occasional item that we are not accustomed to consuming such as eggplant and some kinds of squashes. We are old consumers of asparagus and artichokes and love both.
Easy Tender-Crisp Asparagus
1 bunch asparagus
1 large bowl ice water, about half full
1 large pan water, about half full
Rinse asparagus well and snap off ends. Place in bowl of ice water. Bring water to a boil in the large pan. Scoop out the asparagus and put in boiling water. Water will stop boiling. When water starts to boil again pour the asparagus and hot water into the large bowl of ice water. Carefully scoop out asparagus while still hot. Serve with butter or favorite sauce or enjoy plain.
This is our favorite way to cook asparagus as it stays a bit crisp and there's no mushiness.

This month was great for the harvest share! We love mushrooms, asparagus, and artichokes, but we don't buy them that often so this month's produce was a big treat.
