Stuffed artichokes... deliciousness crammed into every nook and cranny of these marvelous vegetables. Bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, a bit of olive oil, lemon zest and its juice... fabulous. Sitting at the kitchen table eating them with our fingers... getting all messy... stuffing slipping out of the leaves into our mouths... teeth pulling the goodness out... it was an experience worth the work of snipping off the thorns, digging out the choke, stuffing them then waiting 45 minutes while they steamed.
The best part of eating tonite was having a virtual dinner with Mark & Andrea... they ate their steaks and grilled vegetables (which looked amazing) while we dug into our artichokes.... laughter and drinks later we had a delightful visit.
Today we began the onerous task of cleaning out the storage in our attic... four generations of junk to sort through... how to decide what to keep and what to discard. The hubs carried some of the discards out to the trash to be carted away tonite. So many memories...
How was your day? And what's on your plate? (Photos welcomed and appreciated)
