Weeks 30 & 31 - When Artichokes Take Over the World

I've been so busy I haven't really kept up with our meals, so I missed a few days of Week 30. But I do know we ate artichokes every day.

Sunday
We went to Tom's grandmother's house for Easter. We brought chard from our garden and a blackberry crumble with an oatmeal topping from blackberries we had foraged and then froze.

Monday
Garlic flavored almonds. Oh and some water. We didn't get a chance to eat because we had to rush our 6 wk old goat to UC Davis.

Tuesday
Frittata with spinach from our garden, bacon, onions and mushrooms. Artichokes with homemade aioli.

Friday
Rabbit tacos, homemade tortillas, spanish rice and artichokes!

Saturday
Potluck! We had a great potluck at our house. Of course I was so busy socialized I didn't get to eat anything, but it was worth it. 

Sunday
Snacked on food leftover from the potluck.

Monday
Pork chops with roasted potatoes and artichokes.

Tuesday
Cream of Artichoke Soup

Wednesday
Rabbit braised in tomato sauce and artichokes

Thursday
Pizza with spinach, homemade chevre, mushrooms and onions. And artichokes

Friday
Venison burgers with homemade baked beans....and artichokes.

Saturday
Artichokes. We went to an event earlier that day and didn't really feel like having a full meal.

Reflections
Our artichokes started producing. Heavily. I love artichokes but we have to keep up with them. So far we've harvested over 23lbs of them. I'm sure by the end of the season we'll be thoroughly sick of them, just like last year.
We've also been incredibly busy lately. We had a sick doeling that unfortunately, didn't make it. We had a big potluck to get ready for. We taught some people how to slaughter rabbits. It was stressful and I'm glad it's all over. Now we can get back to our normally scheduled programming.
