Feeeed me Seymour!


Momma, does it bite?

This time of year we have 'European artichokes'. They're huge and practically a meal in itself . 
Momma and daddy love them. Funny though, when they eat them, they can go toot for toot with Betty.

No way, no one can out toot me.


Love,
Stella

Hi Stella! That artichoke is huge! Do you eat it? Please eat it before it eats you.

Grapes make Mom toot and I'm sure she could give Betty a run for her money. Her toots even make me leave the room!

Can your momma do a blog lesson on how to cook them??? I always see them and want so badly to do something with them, but I have no clue how to prepare them.

Stella, you are just so HUGABLE!
That artichoke is a whopper, don't eat it all at once and erm maybe it's best if Betty sticks to kibble.

Artichoke Fartichoke is what we say. The choke part is right. We like to save ours for bedtime and give mom the ol' dutch oven. She gags and we think it is hilarious. Go Betty! You are our hero.

Between the humans and Betty, you might need to get a carbon monoxide detector. Your house could blow up.

You eat those? Are you sure it's not the other way around. That looks dangerous to me.
