Joy dot: planning a weekend getaway

I really enjoy artichokes. I love the process of eating them, peeling off the leaves 1 X 1 to get to the heart. I usually don't even bother with butter.

I haven't had one in a long time. I think I will buy some for myself. I need more variety in vegetables. I used to eat a wide variety but there are only a few my husband will eat. But I think I will let him fend for himself, or else get out my big double layer vegetable steamer so I can easily fix 2 vegetables.
