Asparagus

I was just telling a friend/co-worker that owning a food processor has finally made me truly want a dishwasher.  I have never in my life had one, except in college for a few years, but my roommates and I never used it.  During last year's epic Thanksgiving, Part Two, it took me the entire weekend + a day to clean up all the dishes.  The roasting pan alone?  Cripes.

So whenever I use my food processor, I think, "Boy, would it be nice not to wash every single piece of this beautiful machinery."  At least with the KitchenAid, it's just a bowl and some type of mixing paddle.

Blegh.

Asparagus pesto!
I picked up some asparagus this weekend because I thought I had read about an asparagus pesto in some food magazine, but I couldn't remember.  New York Times to the rescue!

I loosely followed the recipe, and I think I used too much olive oil, but this shit is delicious.  I am going to toss it with some rigatoni and grilled chicken.  Boom!

It is much more green than this picture.  Super light green (makes me think of peas) but incredibly bright.
