So I guess I shouldn’t mention the asparagus macaroons….
Next you’ll be telling us about asparagus gummies.
And that old favorite, asparagus-chip cookies.
Oh, and of course asparagus brownies.
Well, there’s always the garlic ice cream at the garlic festival down the road.
I’ve always wanted to try that.
Unfortunately, that garlic festival down the road has been indefinitely canceled, probably permanently, after a run of 42 years. There was a mass shooting there in 2019, and it was shut down due to Covid in 2020 (and I guess in 2021 too). And (apparently unrelated to all that), the city now has imposed unfeasible insurance requirements on the privately-operated event.
There are (somewhat ambiguous) reports that the operators of the Stockton Asparagus Festival plan to run a garlic festival now, but it is apparently not a Gilroy-city-sanctioned event (and maybe not even in Gilroy?) There may be a variety of smaller local events instead of the big festival.
And it seems there is a parking problem, with one of the major parking areas now occupied by a housing development. Oops.
For more information, google something like “Gilroy Garlic Festival 2022” and read some of the various conflicting articles you find. See what you can make of it.
ETA: To put this post in the context of this thread, I blame Trump for all this.
I only just noticed that there are two “how has Trump pissed you off” threads. I am not observant.
You probably don’t want to hear about the Asparagus Wine then (scroll down)

When we visited the winery, we refused to even go near that stuff.
Well, that’s too bad. I have attended that festival many times and always enjoyed it, but not the garlic ice cream. Great food otherwise, good music, free to camp. Hot as hell lately though.
Oh well, you can’t hold back the tides of time.
I love garlic, and once had garlic ice cream at a local garlic festival. It was ok but I’m in no rush to have it again.
It looks like the Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park is still open.
How has the disgraced former President Trump pissed you off today?
Mother-fucker’s still breathing, ain’t he?
Sadly, yes. He’s even got a pulse, which is remarkable considering his heartlessness.
I hate it when he does that.
My theory is that there is some kind of sphincter in his chest cavity that pushes fluid around his bloated flesh.
Peristalsis.

Only one way to find out….
Eww! But, yes. Potentially. Basically, his body is one giant digestive system, and nothing else.
We live a couple of miles away from the I17, and the direct route from Phoenix to Prescott Valley. The trump trucks are going to be out in force by Thursday and things are going to be fucked up at the Junction until the 18th at least.
Not only is the fucker still breathing, he’s bringing another super spreader event to a county that is experiencing a major surge because all those stupid motherfucker trumpies refuse to even pretend to care about how many people will die of the plague due to him. Fucker.
Whenever Trump pisses you off, picture him lying in the fetal position, sobbing his eyes out. Because you know it’s happened many, many times. He knows he lost, fair and square, and all of his insecurities are back in the forefront. His private life is all impotent rage and pathetic self-pity. He’s a loser.
