I will admit this isn't so much a recipe as "instructions." I am always looking for ways to jazz up vegetables. Hubby doesn't love vegetables and would be happy if all he ever had to eat was corn, peas and maybe green beans (with plenty of butter.) He will eat asparagus with hollandaise but sometimes I feel like doing something different.
Then I found this idea for asparagus and bingo! I thought it might pass the taste test. I mean, everything is better with bacon, right?
Ingredients:
bacon
asparagus
Directions:
Prepare asparagus. I find if you snap off the ends, they break in just the right place to get rid of the woody part and keep the good part.
Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with a little olive oil if desired. And light the grill for medium high--around 400 degrees.
Divide asparagus into even bundles and wrap with bacon. Secure with a toothpick. I found that regular bacon--as opposed to thick sliced--is easier to work with.
Grill until bacon is crispy and asparagus is tender. My stalks were rather thick so I grilled them for around 18 to 20 minutes. Adjust accordingly.

A
Park Avenue princess discovers the dark side of 1930s New York when a
debutante ball turns deadly in this gripping historical mystery for
readers of Victoria Thompson, Anne Perry, and Rhys Bowen.
Manhattan,
1938. Tired of being trapped in the gilded cage of her family’s
expectations, Elizabeth Adams has done what no self-respecting socialite
would think to do: She’s gotten herself a job. Although Elizabeth’s
dream is to one day see her photographs on the front page of the Daily Trumpet, for now she’s working her way up as the newsroom’s gal Friday.
But
fetching coffee isn’t exactly her idea of fun, so when veteran reporter
Ralph Kaminsky needs a photographer to fill in for a last-minute
assignment, Elizabeth jumps at the chance. At the Waldorf Hotel,
Elizabeth is tasked with tracking down the season’s “It girl,” Gloria
DeWitt, who will be making her society debut. Working her own
connections to New York’s upper crust, Elizabeth manages to land an
exclusive interview with Gloria.
Then
Gloria’s stepmother is shot dead in a Waldorf bathroom, placing
Elizabeth at the scene of a headline-worthy scandal: “Murder of a
Society Dame.” Now Elizabeth will have to get the scoop on the killer
before her good name gets dragged through the gossip columns—or worse. .
