Asparagus and Bits of Bacon w/FFwDorie

April.  Asparagus.  Montana.  Snow.  Hmmm...a potentially challenging week for me and the French Fridays with Dorie schedule.  This recipe, no doubt the simplest to-date, had this California girl thinking about a possible bye.  But!   Bozeman Community Food Co-Op to the rescue!  A quick cruise through the less than abundant, albeit thoughtfully selected, produce section, left me a tad sullen, but as I resigned myself to the situation, I quite literally stumbled upon a special display featuring...asparagus!  Beautiful, fresh stalks of asparagus standing in a tub of water, even sporting super fresh cuts.  Happy days!   No bye for me this week, and another way to enjoy bacon.  All is good.
