One of the signs of Spring here in Yakima is the availability of fresh locally grown asparagus.  The first year after having moved to the Yakima area I went on a Spring Barrel Wine tasting excursion.  Outside of one of the wineries a vendor was selling

deep-fried asparagus.  I had never heard of such a thing.  I placed an order and fell in love it with after the first bite.  Who would think that frying asparagus was a thing and that it was good. Now, every spring, I go out and find deep fried asparagus – I had some yesterday.  If you make it out to Yakima this spring or are here for the barrel tasting, make sure to grab some asparagus.
