Artichokes.

"These things are just plain annoying. After all the trouble you go to, you get about as much actual "food" out of eating an artichoke as you would from licking 30 or 40 postage stamps. Have the shrimp cocktail instead."
Miss Piggy


“Life is like eating artichokes; you have got to go through so much to get so little.”
Thomas Aloysius (Tad) Dorgan, Cartoonist

"Artichokes are the only vegetable where you have more food on your plate at the end than you had at the beginning!" Anon

These are in our garden and are about seven feet tall so a bit taller than me. Actually, about a foot and a half taller than me!

I have grown artichokes in our garden for about ten years and never eaten any but this could be the year.

This Elektra track is from an album of the same name and introduced many of us to the joys of Joni Mitchell, James Taylor and Jackson Browne.

Have a great weekend.
