Artichokes, please??

Mom, can I please have some artichokes? You don't hear that often from your child. It hear it quite frequently at our house. Summers and Zander love artichokes. We buy the new Ziplock Steamer Bags and cook them in the microwave. Then they melt some butter and dip the leaves into the butter. After all of the leaves have been eaten, they remove the stuff that looks like hair and eat the heart of the artichoke. They are very expensive and I only get 3 each week. Zander has actually cried in the store and said, plese can I have more artichokes, mom? People in the store usually find it very funny.
