Artichoke

Yummy...Artichoke. We don't do artichoke very often, but it was on sale this week, so I decided to buy some. The kids never can remember if they like it or not. And then there comes the lesson each time on how to get the edible part off the rest that is just waste. As the Simmons family so eloquently puts it.....it's a "pack of damn foolishness."
This is the waste. The part you throw away....I'm not sure that it is even worth the dollar that I paid for it, but it's worth the fun and entertainment. But I found a positive flip to the whole event.....It definitely slows down those who eat too fast and keeps you from eating too much!

Artichoke...a good way to eat butter!
Soon to come...my very favorite....Asparagus with hollandaise sauce!
