I will overlook my personal (and completely irrational) aversion to food abbreviations (‘choke, guac’) to appreciate the utter beauty of these artichoke flowers. —MN
Artichoke Flowers - Beautiful Food
Artichokes are some delicious thistles. The choke that you eat is actually an unopened flower covered in a tight arrangement of bracts. If you allow the chokes to mature well past the edible stage the flowers will reveal themselves. Just don’t let them set seed as they can be terrible weeds. I have a short row of artichoke plants tucked away in a sheltered spot on the farm. They are perennials which means they grow year after year and provide me with a nice long harvest of chokes in the late winter. I expect them to start producing buds in the next few weeks.

Just so I’m clear: Misogyny in advertising on TV is totally okay. Violence on TV is totally okay. Encouraging people to self-diagnose mental illness on TV is totally okay.
Flipping the bird on TV, though, is totally not okay.
Is that pretty much it?
Okay, that’s what I thought. So, allow me to just say something real quick here, okay?
For fuck’s sake, America, it’s not the 1950s any more. Grow the fuck up.
