MY LOVE FOR ARTICHOKES

 I think I’m in love with artichokes. I love to eat them because they are delicious tasting. When they are in season, I simply want them every day. 

                   

They are so beautiful that I love to look at them and even decorate with them.  

                                        

 The best way to prepare an artichoke for cooking is to first cut off the pinchy edges of the leaf.  

                                         

While many stuff them with breadcrumbs, olive oil, and garlic and love to slide their teeth through each leaf, I prefer stuffed baby artichokes for their delicate hearts.

                      

                         

                                          

Finally, let me say to those who have never eaten an artichoke, you have no idea what you are missing!
