Artichokes

Growing up we often had the special "treat" of Artichokes. My dad would cook them for us and we would huddle around the counter pulling the leaves off and eating the delicious treat. I have now shared artichokes with my girls and they love them. Their favorite part is the heart and they fight over the bites. They keep asking for more and want to eat it all for themselves. I never realized what a sacrifice it is to eat an artichoke. Me, and previously my dad, doing all the work so our little scavenger children can enjoy their little treat. I can think of nothing else that makes me more happy!
