Oh yummy, we love asparagus and I know would enjoy these crispy bites. The would definitely tempt someone that doesn’t like asparagus. BTW, you were not showing up in my reader until today…I thought you had stopped blogging.
We first had these last summer when a friend in Canada made them. I DREAMED about them for months afterward….
