Spring at Chateau Kwassant

Ah spring. In DC, that means that overpriced elitist farmers markets are starting up. However, after a long winter, subsisting on root vegetables, I was ready and willing to shell out for some asparagus and strawberries. I even splurged on the poppies that I suspect are worsening my allergies – but with looks like that, who could resist?

I whipped up some pasta with roast asparagus and lemon juice with walnuts and Parmesean. Really simple, really delicious. The best thing about brunch at home? The extra asparagus without the extra charge. The only downside is that I finished it with no extra for dinner.
