Artichoke & Two Tomato Spaghetti

Taking a break from all my garden postings of late…lets talk carb-fixes & a quick dinner! Like last night where my afternoon slipped by and suddenly it was nearly 6 pm and I had 3 hungry kids staring me down. We ate and I went back to work outside. It has compelled to get these projects done! Although at times it feels like all I do is move dirt and rocks from one pile to another pile and then back again….but I have this image in my mind – and I want to get there šŸ™‚
