I had artichokes today. Why? Because they are very good for my liver, and as I am trying to shed the lbs, the liver needs to be pampered like mad. Let me tell you, I feel artichokes is just like mussels. People only eat them because of the dip sauces. On its own they are pretty......boring?
I will try some artichoke hearts in a salde one day. But sucking on the leaves dipped in some dressing is again ....boring., and I felt a little silly *grins*
Tonight I visit a friend's birthday. I still have some 8 points left, and some reserves I built up. BUT I am also going to a birthday at my brothers tomorrow, 'another birthday, so I will have divide the spoils a bit. I purposely ate late today, making sure my stomach was still happily digesting when I got to the birthday.
First, I will go for a nice walk enjoying a street fair near me. Burn off some calories as I do, and take in some fresh air and sunshine.

We LOVE artichokes. Since we don't eat them often, it's almost ceremony to sit around and suck the leaves. But then, we're a little strange that way...
I'm not brave enough to try artichokes. Brussel sprouts is where I draw the line ;)
Artichokes hearts are wonderful.
I'm sure I would be better served buying the fresh artichokes and going through the tedious process of cleaning them, but I just can't!
I buy a jar of artichoke hearts, and toss them in my saute pan with other veggies to top pasta. Or add them in a salad.
And steamed mussles and clams are yummy little creatures! Very diet friendly too.
