Nice post Matt! Here in Maryland we’ve been enjoying asparagus from the farmers market and loads of spinach from the garden. I’ve taken to eating both steamed with just butter, salt and pepper, and rice vinegar. I used to love them with white balsamic, but have found that rice vinegar has a very light, clean flavor that really lets the taste of the vegetable shine. Give it a try!
Thanks Hank! That’s great you’re already enjoying your garden spinach. I hope you’re having a good stretch of weather after all this rain. I’ll give rice vinegar a try. The trick is not overpowering the flavor of the fresh veggies, right?

When you store asparagus stalks in water, is that in a refrigerator or at room temperature?
I’ve been leaving it on the counter overnight but any longer I’d refrigerate it.
