Artichokes - 5 Minute Freewrite Day 139

in #freewrite6 years ago

Artichokes are full of thorns and very hard to chew. They can be sour and usually need to be cured a lot and left in water with lemon juice for many hours before they can be eaten. They are nasty vegetables. I wonder how humans ever thought about artichokes as a food the first time they saw them...and how many tentatives before they discovered the way to soften them up a little. I love artichokes but they make me fart a lot... lol, I imagine Snook commenting I swore again!
For once, I wanted to return to the true freewrite. Open the Most Dangerous App and write, directly in English, a bad, non controlled English, for five minutes without stopping. Writing about artichokes


Little outro: this post is an experiment. I wanted to do a "true" freewrite letting the thoughts flow free from the mind to the keyboard, respecting strictly the time counter, not putting any photo in the post, and not searching to promote or boost the post in any way other than the link in the comments of the prompt post. Let's see what happens.


This post is part of the 5 Minute Freewrite Contest.

This is also done with The Most Dangerous Writing App and only a little editing for typos.

Nice! I have only ever had marinated artichoke hearts and didn't even know they existed until my husband made us meals with them. I haven't tried eating one that is still... together? yet, but I would like to try it sometime.

Great freewrite, I can hear the gears turning as I read!

Also, I'm here to deliver today's prompt as well Daily Prompt #140

Thank you for the prompt!

I like artichokes in many ways: pickled, marinated raw with lemon and parmigiano cheese, cooked in the pan with potatoes, as pizza topping...but I hate the hard and thorny leaves, and I have some digestive problems with them ;)

Sometimes it's great to just let the thoughts flow. I like your "true freewrite" Marco! (And now I know the risks of feeding you artichokes! LOL 😂)

I think It's way better than many edited writings.. I'll join his example I guess. Only I'm scared about the result.. ever heard of pandora's box? 😂

sneaking a peek at work Sure have, it's where they sell lingerie and fluffy kittens, right? ;)

If I'm not mistaken they sell fluffy kittens in lingerie 🤔

Oh @Brisby, poor innocent creature, that is the risk of feeding me a lot of things 😂☠️🌪️🌋

😂 We'll just picnic outside then!

La lapidarietá della tua conclusione sulla loro fastidiosa inutilità é splendida.. una traduzione in italiano farebbe crepare dal ridere 😂

Grazie, ma già tradurre sarebbe stato un filtro. Piano piano vorrei arrivare alla scrittura automatica, senza tralasciare altre forme
