OT: Happy 4th of July!

[BcRaven]

My youngest turned 5 today. Took her to play mini golf, then let the kids do the craft her sister bought her (kit with three dinosaur skeletons, and clay to build the dinosaurs around them) followed by a water balloon fight she's literally been waiting months for, and swimming.

Burgers and dogs tonight because she wants a hot dog for dinner. Whatever fireworks are going on in my neighborhood tonight.

Ort, that's about the most wonderful day a kid (or father) could have ... Bc

have an artichoke. whats the best way to make it?

A little late, but snip the tips, then split in half, core out the fuzzy stuff. Steam it spit side down about 20-25 minutes dementing on size, sautéed some butter, garlic, lemon and pour generously, then grill 5-10 minutes.
