Don’t Get Mad at the Artichoke
Whenever you want to order an artichoke, do you look at the price and get mad? I do. Shit is costly! Then I bought them in the store, and made them. It takes so long. There’s the prep, cleaning, cutting the pointy crap off, steaming, marinating grilling–and I think I just left out a bunch of stuff. Anyway, here you have the grilled ‘choke from Cheesecake Factory. It’s pretty darn tasty. It’s no Houston’s ‘choke, but it’s up there.
Not to mention how long it takes to grow them, to get only the one artichoke. The plant is huge, and the artichokes are like giant thistle flowers. I have one plant in my yard, and it has 5 smallish artichokes on it. It seems like the plant has been growing for 5 months… I like my artichokes steamed and dipped in butter….
