green

i meant to post this yesterday but ran out of time. shut up, 2009.

today [yesterday] i wore my green esprit boots, purchased circa 2005 - online for about $30. who even knew esprit still existed? these boots have held up, moreso than any other shoe i've had since then i would have to say. they're super comfortable, acceptably ugly, and warm. and they have good traction. and they don't make my feet sweat. and they're GREEN, which means they match nearly nothing and i wear them with nearly everything.

long live the green esprit storm-trooper boots!

during my trip to wegmans to procure more items for SOUP, i ran across quite possibly the greatest [or at least best-named] product:



i read a lot of recipes and i've never come across the need for artichoke bottoms. but if/when i do, you can bet i'm going to make it. something about the word BOTTOM is inherently funny.

ARTICHOKE BOTTOMS.
[insert incessant giggling]

these are used all the time in turkish dishes! most commonly as an 'artichoke salad,' with peas, cubed potatoes, carrots, and dill on top, then drizzled with olive oil. very tasty.
