Artichokes :)

Artichokes, the kids and I just love these :)

I just steam them, and eat them plain.  My kids like melted butter.  When I was growing up, my grandmother would make them on special occasions, and stuff them. I am thinking the stuffing was an Italian thing.  She made them wonderfully.  Bread crumbs, garlic, parsley and Parmesan cheese and lots of butter :)
I make them more often though, than my Grandmother did.

Today. I took my sweet parrot to the groomers:)

When we got home, she went right to sleep :)
She was tired, my sweet girl.
