RECIPE — What On Earth Is This Sorry Excuse For A Side Dish?

Food is symbolic of love when words are inadequate. — Alan D. Wolfelt

Alright, let’s get this sorted. So you have this so-called “roasted asparagus with bacon and cheese” recipe, and you expect me to believe that this is something worth serving? Well, it’s about time you learned how to cook properly. Let’s turn this sorry excuse for a side dish into something that’s actually worth the effort.

Here’s what you’ll need for a proper roasted asparagus with bacon and cheese:

Ingredients:

• 1 pound of fresh asparagus, with the tough ends trimmed
• 3 slices of bacon, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1/2 cup of freshly shredded white Cheddar cheese
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 lemon wedge

Now, let’s get to work:

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until it’s evenly browned, which should take about 10 minutes. Once it’s done, drain the bacon on some paper towels.
3. Lightly coat a baking sheet with some of the bacon grease. Lay the asparagus evenly onto the baking sheet.
4. Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven, squeeze juice from the lemon wedge evenly onto the asparagus, then sprinkle with the bacon and shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Return the baking sheet to the oven, and cook until the cheese is melted, which should take about 3 minutes more.

And there you have it, a slightly improved version of your sorry excuse for a dish. I would suggest serving this with a nice Sauvignon Blanc from Cloudy Bay, which will complement the flavors of the bacon and cheese beautifully. And do let me know if you need any more help with your cooking — it seems like you need all the help you can get.
