A Vegetable I Really Miss
When I go back to the United States, I always look for artichokes. I really miss them in Japan. The other day, I had a wonderful surprise. My co-worker brought me three fresh artichokes! She started growing artichokes a few years ago to see what they were, but she doesn’t eat them. She says there isn’t much to eat. I suppose she is right, but that doesn’t matter. I love them. I boil the artichokes and eat them with melted butter. It takes a long time to eat artichokes because I dip each petal in melted butter and eat the soft part. When I finish the petals, I cut up the artichoke heart and eat it with melted butter, too. The artichokes I got from her were small, but they were delicious. I hope she gives me more!
