Not much into artichokes (yes, I'm still here, maintaining, although the goal is to lose). Can't wait for what's next - asparagus? Or is that on the bad list? Doesn't matter I'm not much into that either. You could always do "assorted' or is that 'M' for mixed - because you know that is where I am at. I think I will have more luck in the B's "broccoli," C's "carrots." and then there is that "green" squash you don't really like in the Z's zucchini; I guess that will be awhile. Oh well maybe I will find something that interests me while I wait.
