Hooorgh.

Helped my aunt cook dinner. Awesome chicken something, lemon and butter and capers and whatever else, I didn't keep track. (I'm not a very good cook, but I can follow directions.) Plus she baked us BREAD and we had PASTA and it was a good thing the artichokes took too long so we had to store 'em for tomorrow! We were all stuffed right full, and after dinner I fished the artichokes out of the water and homg they smelled so good. Can't wait for tomorrow night. Purple artichokes have this incredible rich nutty flavor (a few leaves came off in the fishing, couldn't resist.)

Currently trying to digest enough to be ready for more B&J dessert.
