A Story

Ever buy a delicious looking artichoke just short of ripening?
It sits on the counter patiently waiting on you.
But peeling artichokes are messy.
How to fix it? In what salad? With what side?
And then there's that outrageously large tumor of a seed in the middle to deal with.


So you wait , and the artichoke waits.
And them shsssssssss, the ripeness passes, and the artichoke rots with a vengeance.
It still looks good from the outside, but..... Poor artichoke, and sad you are.
Another one's gone and another one's gone.
