Artichokes and Hollandaise

When I was around 3 or 4, my pappy---mom's dad, who was a flying ace in WWI, started the peruvian air force, and taught us how to mislead mom---died. Well meaning neighbors from all over our East Tennessee suburban neighborhood of Colonial Heights brought endless cassaroles and other dining monstrosities. At three, I found this insanely not good.

Today, on the 5th of september 2025 we harvested our first ever artichokes! It was quite the occasion even though the rain was pouring down. The plants were a gift from dear friends back in May and they have grown so well during this sunny and beautiful summer.

We had them for dinner, with beurre blanc and white wine and they were divine! We will definitely try to grow them again next year. @FrejLonnfors harvested the artichokes and can be seen posing with the incredibly tall sunflowers in the last picture.
