FEELS LIKE A DECADENT TREAT EVERY TIME
TRIES TO HURT YOU
A dear friend fell into the habit of making artichokes with homemade hollandaise for dinner whenever her husband was out of town. I love her husband but man when got the heck out of town I made sure I was around for dinner!

Any vehicle for lemon-butter sauce, that is also delicious in its own right, and fun to eat, but with some risk of injury = amazing

I also like that you get to have a big pile of discards when you're done, but it's a pile of beautiful green leaves, not disgusting bones.

The greatest thing in the world, when we lived in Stanton, was having artichoke plants in our back yard. (Also the lemon tree.)

I had artichokes for dinner last night. Didn't use lemon-butter sauce, but a garlic aioli with dill, basil, and lemon juice. It was 100% fantastic!

Saw some huge ones at Whole Foods recently, maybe I'll get one. I usually mix Dijon mustard with mayo (equal parts) for the dipping sauce.
