funny story:
when i was first married, cc asked if we could make artichoke,
i had to admit that i hadn’t ever had it.
so, we boiled it, and he taught me how to eat it,
leaf by leaf, the way he did, with mayo. {which i thought was yuck.}
so i made myself a hollandaise and that made it a bit better….
when cc and i were in santa maria, we had artichoke almost twice a week because it was usually 2 for a $1 at the market by our house.
{what happens when you live where they grow things}
we had gone to an Irish pub {one of the few good restaurants in that small town, that isn’t a chain}
and had this as an appetizer.
we spent weeks working at a recipe,
and finally came up with our version of
grilled artichoke & spicy aoili
