Asparagus with Creamy Chive Drizzle celebrates early spring

When the guy at the checkout asked me if asparagus could hold up to freezing temperatures, I thought he was referring to a malfunctioning refrigerator. Then, he put his hands in the air, layering them 4 or 5 inches apart. “My asparagus is about this big already,” he said. “It’s supposed to get down into the 20s tonight. I’m worried about the asparagus.”
