Grilled Asparagus With Gorgonzola Butter image

The Gorgonzola butter is heavenly, and I think I might just use any leftovers to butter a nice loaf of bread. I found this recipe on epicurious.com, and it originally came from Bon Appetit September 2000 by Allen Susser, Chef Allen's, Miami, FL. YUMMY! Serviing size is estimated because it was not listed.
