I know that asparagus season is nearly over, but here is my round-up, just for Erika, on what to do with asparagus. Please, anyone reading - post in the comments with your asparagus recipes. We can always save these for next year's asparagus season!
Ways to Cook Asparagus:
(serves as many as you need)

Oven-roasted, Grilled or Sauteed:
* Olive oil, salt and pepper
* Butter, salt and pepper
* White or black truffle oil, salt and pepper
* Citrus (juice of 1 large pink grapefruit or other sweet citrus), olive oil, salt and pepper
* Sesame (sesame oil, soy sauce, pinch brown sugar, salt and pepper), top with toasted sesame seeds for serving
* Barbecue (chili powder, cumin, cayenne, brown sugar, black pepper, paprika, salt, etc. dusted), drizzle with olive oil
* Sweet & Spicy, toss with cayenne and brown sugar, drizzle with olive oil
* Pouch Cooking, wrap asparagus with a few ice cubes, chunks of cold butter, lemon slices and salt and pepper in foil, grill or roast just until done and a sauce forms
Steamed/Blanched:
* Lightly blanch (drop into boiling water) asparagus, wrap with prosciutto
* Steam just until bright green and softened, serve with easy blender hollandaise sauce
