Time for the fresh, local asparagus to hit the market. I can hardly wait! It always arrives around the same time every year (about the middle of May), but my impatience gets the best of me and I start asking “When will the asparagus be ready?” right around the middle of April….
We grew up eating asparagus and always looked forward to the season. Yes, and it was only available for the season, about 2 weeks, because back in the day, you couldn’t find asparagus year-round at the grocery stores.

Megan Again By Megan Wirts Picture it, Grant, Michigan 2012. It is a beautiful summer day and my family and I have just celebrated my son’s 5th birthday at Craig’s Cruisers and enjoyed a dip in the neighbor’s pool. We all went to bed exhausted from the day. When I awoke the next morning I had what I thought was water sloshing around in my right ear. Being the medical professional that I was at the time, I used good old Dr. Google and a Facebook post to guide me in how solve this annoyance.
