I buy artichokes with some regularity. I boil them, then pull their leaves off one-by-one and dip them in butter. I like plump, heavy artichokes. If they’re all dried out, I don’t get them.

Sunday I bought a nice artichoke. Then I forgot it at the bottom of the refrigerator. Last night, even though it was dried out, I decided to cook and eat it.

It was ok. Eating the leaves was not quite as good as a fresh artichoke. The heart was good though. I cut that up in chunks and dropped it in the butter dish. Mmm…

I eat a lot less sugar than I used to. My one remaining big consumption of sugar is cinnamon-sugar toast. I had to mix some new cinnamon-sugar yesterday, then wondered about how long it took me to eat this jar-full of sugar.

I’m leaving a note here in my memory archives so that I can tell how long it took.

Yesterday was my usual day of grading.

After grading, I stopped at the grocery store. I got my usual staples, but I was also hungry for dinner. I got BLT ingredients, but as I was walking past the deli, I saw all the prepared foods and decided to look.

I got a salad! Yay! I ate something healthy!

And then I ate a bunch of jellybeans. Oh, well. Something is better than nothing, right?

First of all, I have to say Happy Birthday to Beth! Woo hoo! A birthday on the weekend! So exciting! And now, back to our regularly scheduled post:

Here is Brad’s Guide to Cooking Frozen Pizza:

1. Put extra cheese on it. Parmesan is my favorite.
2. Cook it for longer than the box says. It will look bad, but taste good.
3. Use the box as a platter for when the pizza is done. You can cut on it, and when you’re done, you can just throw it away.

I have been regularly buying non-skim milk at the grocery store. Milk with fat in it is so silky and luxurious. I don’t have a favorite fat percentage. Usually I just choose whatever has the latest “best by” date on it.

Last weekend, I got skim milk. Maybe I was thinking about calories or something. It was a mistake. Both gallons were sour-tasting. I kept thinking maybe it was just my imagination, but the more I tried drinking it, the grosser it got. Dang.

I stopped by ABC store yesterday to get some whole milk. It is sweet and delicious. And it was $7. Ack!
