food and drink
One fine day last week the temperature soared so my husband and I decided that it was definitely the beginning of our own "jump the gun" grilling season. My husband is the official griller which is potentially great since it relieves me from my longtime kitchen duties.
The aforementioned husband has learned much over the years. He can load the dishwasher fuller than I can. 
He makes his own breakfast and lunch daily. (He works at home and he has always disliked my breakfasts.)
I don't remember exactly what he grilled but fresh asparagus from spring somewhere was on the menu. We only like grilled asparagus. I slathered the veggie with olive oil and salt and pepper and presented it to my outdoor chef along with a warning that I hoped it wouldn't be burnt as had the steak from the previous evening. Asparagus has had a tendency to burn easily once it leaves our kitchen.
My husband came inside and when some time had elapsed I asked re the asparagus. He rushed out and returned with the food in the photo (right), proclaiming it perfectly edible. I must have looked dubious because he then added that it was ideal for him.
Would you eat this aparagus? I've a fresh bunch (on sale so I couldn't resist) in the fridge just waiting for its' fate.
Looks overcooked to me. Of course I would still probably try to eat it as I love asparagus.

It must be a guy thing because when I saw that plate of asparagus and before I even read the post I thought, "Mmmm, that blackened asparagus looks delicious!"
