It's so bizarre to think about. Eating a thistle.
This is by far the largest thistle (uh, artichoke) I've EVER SEEN at a grocery store.
I HAD to buy it.
It dwarfed my cutting board (isn't it gorgeous?).
It dwarfed my steamer.
It dwarfed my bowl.
And it took so long to cook, I've eaten 2 veggie burgers and roasted potatoes and carrots while waiting, so I guess it's lunch tomorrow.
A thistle not to be taken lightly.
Hm, maybe this one is so big, I can bear to make something other than a straight artichoke feast out of it.
(Cue heroic, Superman music)
And this concludes another exciting chapter of...
Adventures in the Produce Aisle!
