I cannot contemplate asparagus that is not lined up head-head-head. That
random pile of geese is more than I can stand.

No pictures, but ours was peameal bacon, scrambled eggs with potato,
tomato, spinach and hot sauce, and the featured piece.... crumpets.
My son was hear and he likes adding all that stuff to scrambled eggs,
and I am like them. I was not going to do the crumpets because he had
had them with brunch for the last three weeks, but he liked them so much
the last time he was here I thought they would be a treat for him.

The lad apologized for having pigged out on the crumpets but said he
couldn't help it because they were so good. After the last time he was
here he bought some crumpets, but he only had two out of the pack
because they were nowhere near as good as the ones I make.

You guys should try them. They are simple to make and they are
delicious. A batch makes about 16 crumpets and they keep for at least 4
days. Just pop them into a toaster to heat them up. Slather them with
butter and jam or honey.

If that is the case, you would not appreciate one of my favourite dishes
to cook, and the one my dish of mine that my wife likes the most, stir
fried asparagus with pasta. Saute a lot of chopped garlic in olive oil
with a pinch of dried chili flakes, then add chopped asparagus and
diced red pepper. Throw in some cooked pasta and top with freshly
grated Parmesan. It is even better if you add some shelled shrimp with
the asparagus.

crumpets are scones or biscuits, depending, right?

They are neither. They are hotcakes, more like pancakes. Mix up some
flour with a bit of salt and sugar and some fast acting yeast, warm
milk and water. Let the batter sit for an hour,, Then oil some egg
rings and cook them on a griddle, 5 minutes on one side and flip the
over. They are almost as easy as pancakes but a heck of a lot better.

I think I saw a recipe for yeast pancakes in my old JoC which I can't
locate at the moment

I never made them ... will give it a try

FWIW, I first tried them for Sunday brunch four weeks ago. We used to
alternate biscuits, muffins, waffles and pancakes. This was the fourth
Sunday in a row for crumpets.

Yes, I wish I could get good green asparagus in Australia. Not the
dried out kindling from Peru. And I've never even seen white asparagus
here.

You posted that a couple of years ago. I tried it and loved it. It's
a good recipe. I've never added the shrimp yet but I will someday.

Top those with mashed potatoes rather than the cornbread stuffing and
you'd have little turkey cottage pies. Seriously, sounds good. I'm
planning little pot pies like that with some of my leftover roasted chicken.

I agree, good use for leftovers for a couple of servings at a time.
I've got small oven-safe soup bowls like that, too.
