Have you ever eaten an artichoke? I'm not talking about the artichoke hearts you find in cans on the grocer's shelves or the artichoke dips and spreads; I'm talking about getting an artichoke, preparing it, learning how to eat it, etc, etc. I've eaten many odd foods, but seriously, the artichoke has got to be the most ridiculous excuse for a vegetable that's out there. Definitely one of those foods someone came up with because there was no other option. All those leaves and all that time and voila!, you've got yourself. . . well, not a whole lot. If it wasn't for its aesthetic qualities and supposed help for gallbladder problems, I'm not sure I'd ever pay much attention to one again.
Stay tune for my next edition of the Veggie Series Part 2: Fennel
In other news, a comment from the long-not-so-lost roommate reminds me of how hazardous having a blog can be. Everyone I know, don't know and sort of know can now stalk me from the far reaches of . . . everywhere. E-stalking. Hmm. Not sure how I feel about that. Nevertheless, I do hope my blog proves useful for the task of multi-tasking, aka: procrastinating.
Good night.
