Southern Dinner on the Porch
Today’s Lagniappe: Asparagus Salad
Something lovely for spring.
2 lbs. asparagus
1 bunch scallions
4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
2/3 c. salad dressing
2/3 c. sour cream
Cook asparagus tender crisp and arrange whole spears in a casserole dish so that they lay straight across 2 or 3 layers deep. Chop the scallions and sprinkle over asparagus. Sprinkle bacon over scallions. Combine salad dressing and sour cream thoroughly and spread over the top.

I love the white bushes you have in bloom. Are they bridal something? We used to have them on the farm, I remember them as a child. You dishes are lovely. The blooms are wonderful.

Yes, bridal wreath spirea. I think that’s how you spell it! I had a yard full of it when I lived in Mississippi and miss it so much!

Christi- I love the mix of drippy flirty pink and white floral stems.
They are very beautiful on your table. I also am crazy about your plates. What a pretty combo. The stripes and floral. Reminds me of well put together fabric!
So pretty. Enjoy your great weather.

Thank you Christy K. – I remember those bushes being called bridal wreath and I believe spirea is correct. They are just gorgeous! If you are local, those are located in Indian Creek near the old Talbert cemetery.

Your table looks so pretty, and I love that you used cuttings from your yard.
And, I love asparagus. Sounds delish.

So pretty. Spring is there big time! And what could speak of spring better than asparagus. Now if I could just learn how to cook it so it’s tender and still has it’s color!!!!!!!

Nothing like dining on the porch. We’ve a bit too much oak pollen for outside gatherings just now, but hopefully that will pass soon. Everything is lime green!

I love your porch. What a super place to sit and what gorgeous flowers you’ve arranged. We’re having a heatwave but can’t sit outside because the bees are as big as golf balls! Good to “see” you here. — Jane F.
