Comfort Food-

After being sick like a dog for 4 days, I decided I was well enough to eat something hardier that chicken soup and crackers.

I had roasted asparagus, mushroom risotto and veal chops.

Roasted asparagus is very easy and comes into season at this time of the year-

Cut the last inch off the asparagus spears and lay out flat on a cookie sheet

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

for one pound of asparagus put into a small bowl:

1/2 cup of grapeseed oil
2T of walnut oil
2T mirin
a few dashes of soy sauce
salt and pepper to taste

whisk together and pour over the asparagus

roast for 12-15 minutes ( should be enough for small spears)

check to see if they are done enough - they should not be limp

Enjoy
