Asparagus with Lemon pepper we had a newly wed home for dinner. On the menu, asparagus. I have never cooked asparagus before. The first time my husband and I had at a friend's was as a newly wed. We had liked the cut asparagus seasoned with pepper and salt. So here's the beginning of a tradition. One and a half bunch is good enough. Once they cook down in oil, add lemon pepper to taste. Roots - the origins of growth. Asparagus a rite of spring
