Toren eating an artichoke

I’m not sure at what age I started eating artichokes, but I know Debi didn’t have one until we were married.  Toren’s a bit luckier.  At 17 months he had his first artichoke.  Here he is munching on his 3rd or 4th:

He knows how to dip them and usually orients them correctly (he doesn’t always – sometimes he gets the pointy end).  He’ll eat about half an artichoke by himself!
