Enjoying First Artichoke

Dex was really excited when we picked out an artichoke at the grocery store and I explained that after cooking it, we would eat it by pulling off its petals and scraping the fleshy part off with our teeth. The fact that Daddy had never had an artichoke this way made it even more exciting!

 Scrape.

After eating all the petals, we had to get through the pricklies to eat the heart - also quite exciting! I can't wait to see his first go at a lobster!
