No Matter How You Slice It

Where to cut it?   It all depends.
If you take too much off the ends,
you will waste a lot of money.
This vegetable's expensive honey -
but if you err the other way,
you'll be chewing half the day.
Make a decision.  Have some guts.
Where to slice asparagus?

It's been several months since I cut my fingers chopping vegetables - uh oh, hope I didn't jinx it.

I got confused, because I think the asparagus I got from the store already had the end cut off, so then I tried to cut off even more when I didn't have to. I think I was overthinking it...as usual - lol.
