picked up an artichoke for tonight's dinner.
Going to take scissors and cut off the leaf ends, at least the outside ones
and then boil it slowly covered in a 4 qt pan. Have no idea how many minutes, but that's one
big tough veggie
unless someone tells me I should wrap it in a wet towel and microwave it...
My mother loved artichokes and whenever they were on sale, she would buy them.
We went through a lot of butter.
Of course when your grandfather made his living in the butter and eggs business,
well of course butter was to be promoted.
and then what to dip the leaves in, other than butter. Have been a butter dunker all my life.
I bet salad dressing or light sour cream would be healthier
sorry Grandpop.
I wonder if Kilroy's earlier relatives in that area ever went to downtown Newark and saw the big
black sign with the white cow on it. It was torn down a long time ago. 30 years ago I drove to the
alleged location, could not find anything, went to local firehouse and asked who the oldest
fireman was. Of course I told them I was an active volunteer fireman, which I was.
So out comes this old bent over guy in a suspenders outfit that I had to yell at
and sure enough, he remembered the cow. Big white cow.
Gosh I wish I had a picture of it.
I did find the home my grandfather built and where my Father was raised. That was pretty neat.
some of these ads are just marvelous. You could say literally anything.
