Baked Asparagus and Salad night

The asparagus got a little overcooked tonight.  It was girl scouts night, so once again the asparagus was prepped and the husband baked it.  This time instead of spreading my pre-minced garlic over the asparagus I just tucked in some peeled garlic cloves.  I really prefer the preminced for this, made a world of difference in the flavor.
The husband made the salad.  It was just leafy green lettuce, celery and broccoli and we each topped it with the dressing of our choice.  I went with the champagne vinegar dressing from Trader Joe's.  It was okay, I really liked it better mixed with the pesto.  I think next time I will go for the honey mustard.
We cooked up 3 bunches of asparagus, just like the last time, but there is half of it left over.  Last time I had 4 spears left over.  I really think it was the difference in the garlic more than it being slightly over cooked that made the difference in how popular it was this evening.
