About this Cook
I travel over 100,000 domestic air miles a year. I don't have a lot of time to cook, but I love it. I look for things that are simple yet tasty. Allrecipes helps me achieve that goal (and so does my wife, Naples34102). It's gotta be good and the picture inviting or I'm not going to devote the little time I have to a recipe unless I believe it will knock my socks off.
My favorite things to cook
Grilled meat and vegetables (or what The Boss tells me is that evening's contribution to dinner)
My favorite family cooking traditions
Friday or Saturday night cooking with a martini and my lovely wife.
My cooking triumphs
Grilled steak, tapas, Chicken Chasseur and anything barbecued.
My cooking tragedies
Blue marlin, blue marlin, blue marlin...

Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus
Between the bacon and the open grate, this asparagus had a wonderful smokiness that could not have been achieved independent of the other. Cooking the asparagus along with the meat I grilled played a hand in this as well. I was a die-hard fan of grillling asparagus on aluminum foil for many, many years, but after doing it this way, no more. I'd make this again in a heartbeat.

Grilled Lemon Parmesan Asparagus
I make asparagus on the grill often but I've never cooked it directly on the grate. This was fun to make! After coating them with the olive oil and lemon juice I seasoned them with fresh cracked pepper and smoked sea salt. I turned them as they cooked and I liked the appealing charred look they took on, while still maintaining their crisp/tender texture. I don't care for Parmesan on asparagus myself, so I didn't taste this - but judging by Mrs. Spunky's dinner plate this must have been pretty good.
