      Grilled asparagus is not difficult, but can go from yummy to burned very fast--especially on a hot grill.

      I like to boil it for 2 mins, placebo ton a nice bath, and then just before we eat, toss it in some olive oil and throw it on the grill to rewarm and give it some char/color.

        Or just put it in the microwave for a couple minutes.

          Instead of Olive oil, brush on sesame oil and sea salt to make your asapagus awesome. It even neutralizes the rank day after urine. Just kidding. Personally, I like to broil mine in the oven.

            Lol you are still falling for the old placebo method of cooking asparagus? You know it isn't real, right?

                Go plug in your outdoor oven

                I've been working on MJ's steak preference for over a decade. She used to order it well done. I've gotten it to medium and have eliminated the steak sauce at least for restaurants. If I can ever get her to medium rare and no sauce then we'd be more lined up...I've even take medium and no sauce. Give me another decade and maybe I'll be there.

                I did just finish making the rouille sauce. It should go very nicely with the steak and possibly the salmon.

                  i have also tried the real method, but nobody ever knows the difference.

                    The dinner was a hit. I times it all perfectly as well. Steaks were medium and salmon was just right. I even ate some salmon and enjoyed it. The asparagus was good but I think I prefer it broiled. The lemonade was a hit, but a bit too sweet for me. Next time I'll dial down the sugar, at least for my cup.

                      Was going to charcoal grill salmon and asparagus today but it was too windy so I did it on my Traeger. Cooked both at ~300 degrees. Asparagus was perfect (did not boil or microwave first). It had just the right amount of crunch and had a nice smoky flavor with just a bit of char. Everyone loved it, especially my wife. Did not snap of pic of her shoveling it in her mouth, though.

                            I made Mrs. D's favorite dessert. This time I experimented with some alphabet crackers in place of vanilla wafers for a profane aesthetic.

                              Is that a gas grill? In the south? You'll be laughed out of the place!
