Bacon Asparagus Rolls

I found this recipe on the Internet this morning. I ran out to buy some asparagus to try it...then hemmed and hawed about posting the link, the recipe, and my pictures. I wasn't sure the recipe was "all that", so I kept tasting and trying to figure it out. Post? Don't post? Bacon and Asparagus? Is that going to be a hit? Is this a GREAT recipe? Taste, think, taste some more, mmm, one more taste, maybe, let me try that again. It slowly dawned on me, I was positively addicted to these. I was guilty of over thinking the post!
This recipe is from Anamaris on her blog "Chef it Yourself".

Bacon Asparagus Rolls

For each roll you'll need:
1 slice of thick bacon (I used applewood smoked)
4 asparagus spears

Trim the bottom of the asparagus spears so all four are of equal length. Peel the lower part of the stem, optional, but no one is going to want to bite into a stringy piece of asparagus--use a potato peeler. Roll, yes, roll (with a rolling pin) the slice of bacon until it is at 50% - 75% longer than it was before you started. Gather the four asparagus spears together. Starting at the tip end, tightly wrap the bacon around all four spears. Season generously with freshly grated black pepper. Place bundle in frying pan. Cook over medium high heat, turning often, until bacon is well browned and crisp, and the asparagus is cooked. (See picture below.) Remove bundle from the pan, and slice into bite-sized pieces.(See picture above) Discard any bottom stems not covered with bacon. Each bundle will result in 3 or 4 bite-sized sushi-like pieces. Serve warm, but good at room temperature, too.

Thanks for being a fan,
