______________________________________________________________
We're back! We had a lovely trip, both the business end for M and the family visit end for T and I, but it was a long time to be away from home. We're glad to be back in our own digs and cooking again! This is an excellent and easy feast that really could be a one dish meal, but we like to add a bit more fruit or vegetable on the side. We initially had this with sliced pears and grainy bread. I think the bread is superfluous, but pears would be just as good as tonight's asparagus. The original recipe suggested you have this with a good ale and we heartily agree. I would caution you not to go with a heavy ale though. The one I got for tonight is a bit too dark for my taste and overwhelms the flavors, especially of the arugula. I think we had an I.P.A. (Indian Pale Ale) last time and that was perfect.

Prep Notes
Difficulty: Easy
Chopping: Sausage, potatoes
Time: 30 minutes
Make ahead: I like to do this last minute so that it's warm.
