While I was cooking last night's dinner omelet, I realized that I had
forgotten to make another vegetable. I had a bunch of asparagus in the
fridge but it was going to take longer than I wanted to cook them. Then
I remembered the steamer bags.

After snapping off the bottoms and rinsing the asparagus spears, I
popped them in one of those bags, sealed it and stuck it in the
microwave for 1:30 on high.

They were really good with a little fresh lemon juice and a dash of salt.

I still prefer to saute asparagus with garlic and EVOO, but in a pinch,
the steamer bag worked well.

We had insalata Caprese with the asparagus and the herb and Swiss cheese
omelet. Good dinner!

You don't have any dishes? Steamer bags seem to me a classic case of
a solution in search of a problem. Sounds like an excellent dinner,
though. -aem

Thanks! I generally use my corningware for things like that, but that
sounds like a good idea for work. :-)
