    No matter how my mom makes them, we both agree that we’re not going to experiment with asparagus any more (my dad eats anything so he obviously said it was ok). I can’t describe why the flavour of the asparagus turns me off, but the texture of the vegetable is okay. Just a personal preference I guess.
