Artichoke

DeCa had artichokes, and I was curious, so tonight I cooked one for the first time. It tasted okay. It probably would have been better if I hadn't steamed the heck out of it — Joy of Cooking told me to steam for 45 minutes, and probably 20 would have done the job.

 

What a bizarre food. We go through a lot of work to eat only about 20% of the food item and throw away the rest.
