A Low Vera/Allow Vera/Aloe Vera

i bought an aloe plant from home depot approximately 1 1/2 yrs ago.  at the time it was about 6 inches tall.  i bought it because succulents are easy enough to take care of and i also remember my grandpa c had quite a few of them.

the largest "domesticated" (for lack of a better word) aloe i've seen is in robin's parents' place.  it's huge.  unmoveable.  insane.  something you'd swear you'd see in the middle of a desert, than in a livingroom.

i believe my aloe is well on its way to that size.  it's easily doubled if not tripled its original size.  currently it sits in my southeast kitchen window nook by my sink.  it has a window on the east and south side of it, so it gets the early morning sun, as well as some afternoon sun and heat.  i think it's incredibly happy there.

recently a stalk resembling an asparagus has emerged from the centre of the plant.  i've never seen anything like it before, but i believe it's going to bloom...i've never heard of domestic aloes blooming.  obviously my "FEED ME SEYMOR" plant is thriving.

what's next tho?  will it want to be fed meat?
