Buttered Asparagus

I LOVE ASPARAGUS! My husband says he hates it (which means our son also hates it), although neither of them have ever tried it (my husband did touch a piece to his tongue, once, but that definitely does not count). Whatever, more for me :)
Anyway, here is the way I cook it most of the time. It is super easy and fast, and it has butter (so it can't be bad, right?). Also, before I list the ingredients, let me apologize. I have no idea how much asparagus I cook (a pound? half a pound? who knows?). At Wal-mart they come in bunches in the produce section, and this recipe is for one bunch, which usually ends up being 2-3 servings. Okay, ingredients:

INGREDIENTS

asparagus (one bunch for 2 servings)
2 tablespoons butter (that's not exact--throw in another tablespoon if you think it needs it)
salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

(1) Boil some water in a pot.
(2) Meanwhile, rinse your asparagus. Then snap off the tough ends. To do this grab each end of the asparagus and bend it in half. It will break itself in the right spot. Trash the tough ends.
(3) Boil the asparagus for 5-7 minutes, or until crisp tender (That's a real term. I heard it on Food Network).
(4) Drain the asparagus and pat dry with a paper towel.
(5) Add butter to a large skillet over medium heat. Turn your vent hood on because butter has a high smoke factor--another Food Network term :)
(6) Add asparagus to pan. Let them cook for about 3-4 minutes. Try to roll them around so they don't just cook on one side. Don't burn them, just let them get that good brown butter flavor.
(7) Add salt and pepper to taste. Voila! Enjoy! If you cut them in pieces your children might think they're green beans :)
