I always see this funny looking vegetable (or flower bud?) in the grocery store, and the name is Artichoke. (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artichoke) Many times I walked past it and wondered, is this edible? Do we have this in Singapore? I guess I was not on the market scene long enough to answer that.
Finally I bought one when it was on sale at USD2.50. Very expensive considering it does not even make a meal. I rushed home to look at recipes to cook it, just need to boil with water, garlic, bay leaves for half an hour and it is done, easy!
The fleshy part at the bottom of each leaf is the edible part, will not recommend the top part which is fibrous and bitter. I just have to put the leaf into my mouth and use my teeth to scrape the ends off.
Online recipes recommend dipping into butter, and it actually taste quite good! Creamy, soft, a little mushroom-y flavour without the chewiness.
Do I like it? Well, I don't mind it, I probably will buy it again.

Hello!
It's day 3 of JC1 Orientation Undefined. I hope the OGLs in the class are really enjoying themselves :)
Here's some pictures my friend has sent me and I thought they look really nice, so I decided to post them here. And there's a link to this very unique animal which she showed me.

I bought a hummingbird feeder online and decided to try it out. I have seen these cute hummies hovering around my complex and saw some neighbours having the feeders on their patio.
The liquid inside is simply sugary water (brown sugar, hence the colour). Many people add edible red colouring as well to attract the hummingbirds, but I read that it could be carcinogenic, so we decided to leave that out. The centre of the yellow flowers are where the birds will draw out the sugar treat.
Days 1 and 2 I did not pay much notice to the feeder hanging on our balcony.
Today is day 3, and there was a power short circuit, the entire neighbouhood is out of electricity, so I decided to stay and watch if there would be any hummies out there. After a short while,
There you go, a hummingbird comes to visit! Such cute fellas! I read also that they will remember the place where they found food and will visit again. This evening alone I had 5 sightings of at least 2 hummingbirds (a male and a female), not bad!
