Oh, trust me, I know how wonderful white asparagus is!
Meanwhile, I went out and checked, and there were a total of only 6 spears still growing, so I grabbed them for dinner. Our growing season starts pretty late, so itâs going to be a while before most of the beds are ready to eat.

I mean specifically white asparagus soup.
Asparagus soup is great in general, but itâs one of the few places I prefer white.

I can totally imagine why. If white asparagus were easy to get, Iâd definitely try it.

Got a bag of Meyer lemons the other day and today I managed to peel off the zest and juice them (there were only 6) so that I can make whatever with them and not find them mushy and moldy in the fridge in a week or two. Iâm thinking lemon pudding cake.

I got a mini waffle-maker. (Yes, I did post here before about getting a cast iron waffle ironâit didnât work out, for reasons Iâll tell you later.)
The light is on! Itâs heating up! Eyeglasses for scale:
Another, awfully similar, image, but it wouldnât be fair not to show you the brownies:
I was wanting to try brownies in a waffle maker, as suggested by @BakerB in Part 1 of this topic. Because I like the edges best, you know? I hoped the whole thing would come out more like the edge pieces. Plus I live at the top of an old Victorian house (meaning: in a renovated attic space) with no A/C, so, I donât use the oven during the Summer.
And there I was walking around the big store with the red circular logo for the requisite 10-15 minutes after getting my second Covid-19 booster shot, and there was this little bitty waffle maker on sale for $7.99 + tax (regularly $12.99). It looks like a toy, could it possibly be any good? I went home and looked it up, and reviews were overwhelmingly positive on various sites (with a very few that said it broke after making one waffle, etc.). So I went back the next day and bought one.
The waffles it makes are 4â across, and it takes about 5 minutes for each to bake. I used Ghirardelli Double Chocolate brownie mix (with the additional egg and less water, that the instructions suggest for thicker browniesâthatâs the way I make it in a pan). It worked pretty good 
Now Iâm looking forward to enjoying brownies even in hot weather!
Also, itâs perfect for my small kitchen (which is about 6 ft. x 6 ft., not counting the refrigerator which is outside that area). The kitchen counter, which you see in the pics above, is 11½ inches deep, not counting the quarter-round molding.
The cast iron waffle maker didnât work out because my small kitchen has a small âapartment sizeâ (20 inches wide) stove, which has four burners but all four are small. The gas ring on each is 2Âź inches across. Itâs just not big enough to heat a large surface evenlyâno matter how I adjusted the flame, or how long I let the waffle iron heat up, the waffles came out overdone/burnt at the center and not done at the outside edge. And once I figured out that the problem was the stove/burners, then I understood why I never could make decent pancakes either. So, an electric waffle maker now seems the way to go, for me.

Aw, I should have looked for the waffle emoji! Now that youâve made me hip to it, I may be using it frequently 
Yesterday I made cornbread waffles, and today I made leftover-mashed-potato waffles

Made waffles from a mix of breakfast sausage, shredded cheddar, buttermilk and some flour. In a mini waffle maker. Pretty good, but ne t time Iâm making the mix a bit looser.
Tonight it was lemon pepper lake trout from the air fryer and steamed asparagus and boiled tiny new potatoes. Eaten on the screen porch-first meal of the year.

One more waffle memory.
Grandma used to start some bacon in the waffle iron and then add the waffle batter.
A childhood savory taste memory.

If I didnât have my g-paâs 50âs vintage waffle maker Iâd probably burning though tiny ones like that.
