Those were picked a little late, stalks are starting to wrinkle and the heads opening, they might be a little bitter.
Recipes
Creamed on toast great light meal
Broiled and basted with butter
Grilled again baste with buttle
Soup, when trimming the tough ends, save and make cream of asparagus soup. After the hard ends a cooked run them through a Folly mill to remove the fiber.
Cut up raw and add to a salad.
As a kid in WI picking asparagus was a Sunday afternoon outing for the family. We would drive the country roads and all of us would watch the roadsides for it, usually filling a shopping bag full. All my family still have asparagus beds in their yards. We would hike the railroad tracks and pick it also.
Living in WA we had access to great asparagus and if you could find a farmer that would let you hunt asparagus fields in the fall are great pheasant hunting.
