Happy 4th of July

And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

Asparagus Wrapped in Bacon

My family loves asparagus AND bacon so what better way than to "marry" the two of them.

Asparagus Wrapped in Bacon

4-5 bundles of 5 asparagus' in each

2 slices of bacon for each bundle

oil

pepper

Cut off the end of the asparagus (you can do this by bending the end and when they pop off that is where you cut them). Pour about 2 cap fulls of oil (vegetable or olive oil) over the asparagus' and sprinkle with pepper. Make 4-5 bundles with about 5 in each bundle. Wrap each bundle in bacon (we like bacon so we wrap them from top to bottom). Put over medium heat on grill and grill until the bacon is crisp. Enjoy right after, but it also make a great snack after dark ;)
