I love artichokes!



Last night I had my first ever artichoke courtesy of Rich Crockett, who not only allowed me to eat the artichoke, but taught me how to prepare this amazing vegetable (which heretofore has COMPLETELY intimidated me), so that I might have lots more to eat now!


Thanks, Rich!

My first thought was..."you've never had an artichoke? How wierd is that?" But I forget sometimes that not everyone grew up in California. We should try to go to the artichoke festival this year. It's down near Salinas, May 17-19
