Asparagus (Cook only the tender green)

Cook only the tender, green stalks; Cut them of equal lengths and boil in water with a little salt till tender. While the asparagus is cooking prepare some nicely toasted bread, lay the asparagus on the toast and season with butter, salt and pepper, or pour over it a little cream which has been scalded. This is a favorite way for serving this vegetable.
