Artichokes are perfectly in season right now. Yay. I think you should serve them at your next dinner fete because they're relatively inexpensive and feel special for any menu. Aesthetically they're interesting on the platter, plus it's a convenient opportunity for your guest to dip a "thistle plant" in lemon butter, (or mayonnaise if you swing for that team.) Artichokes are a delicious and luxurious side dish, but they could also work for a light main (light if you excuse the hot butter thing.) If you aren't into "making" them, which is silly, because they're super easy to prepare, just buy some and scatter artfully around. A bowl of them looks much more lively than a bud vase or garden variety houseplant. I could describe how to make them, but I'm sure google will tell it better ;)
expensive blouses, vintage vases, blue or brown eggs. baby names, thrifting, eyebrows, NYC or Seattle. milk glass, cashmere throw blankets, holiday traditions and window treatments. pink champagne. Heaven, boots, books and jasmine plants. high end, beige manicures, mole sauce, bridesmaid dresses. make believe and key limes. clothes for your body. eleanor lake. right now love, ash.
I love your table setting... And I LOVE artichokes way too much. xo
