The Artichoke Adventure...

Good Evening Friends
Well today was an adventure.
Spent mostly laying low (for me anyhow)
I did a few light duty chores and had the children change out the washer/dryer.

A friend came over at noon to give me a little adventure in life.
She had heard me say I had never tried artichoke.
She called yesterday much to her joy the grocer had some for a$1 each and they were large ones.
She used my largest pot and boiled that thing some 45 minutes until it was finally ready.

She the kids and I all sat to try this odd veggie.
We dipped it in mayo...
Well I really did not hate or particularly did I like it but...
I would not go out of my way to have another one.
She was so sweet, she gave me the heart we split among the kids.
Dove was very gracious and tried it and tried her best to be complimentary.
Dove does not like it but she did try it.

Now Dash he really liked it.
Dash will eat most anything except potato's

It was an adventure.
One I doubt that will be repeated except perhaps one more time.
She left one for me to cook for Steve...I think however I will steam it.
Boiled veggie is not my way, soaks all the nutrients out of things.
Perhaps steamed might improve the adventure.

What do you think?
Any suggestions?

Some light sewing tonight and easy listening to some old Cat Stevens Tea for the Tillerman album. I just LOVE what I have done so far.
I'll show you in the morning.
My Sweet heart remembered my fondness for it and downloaded it.
That is so sweet.

My back is still a bit iffy.
