Artichokes. Bossy loves them steamed and dredged in butter with some lemon, but she’ll take them anyway she can. And here in Northern California they are so plentiful and fresh, they sell at Farmer’s Markets ten for a dollar.

April 24, 2010 at 4:27 pmI like artichokes too, but cooking them seems daunting.

April 24, 2010 at 4:38 pmvuboq: they are easy peasy to cook! cut off top, trim off thorns w/scissors, put in steamer and steam for 45 min. dip in melted butter or mayo, or hollandaise…. I used to live in Northern California and I miss cheap arties this time of year…here in Nova they are $2 a piece.

April 24, 2010 at 5:37 pmI had one last night, the cost of the gas across country jacked that price up to $1.50. But yummmmmmmmmm!

April 25, 2010 at 1:00 amAnd Steven, I’ve never bothered trimming the thorns. Just steam ’em for 40+ minutes and they’re good to go.

The Know it All says
April 25, 2010 at 9:49 amJUST made these—stuffed with breadcrumbs, romano, spices a little lemon juice and EVOO–steamed to perfection……even my 3 year old loved them….I only WISH I could get them 10 for a buck! Yummmmmmm….
Gramps says
April 25, 2010 at 12:30 pm10 for a buck??? Those must be the teeny-weeny ones
snowwhite says
April 25, 2010 at 9:53 pmToday: Buy one get one free…..$2.99 in Denver (organic @ King Soopers).
Grew up in Cali, miss the produce so much!!!

April 26, 2010 at 1:06 amThat would be close to Hollister or Watsonville, I’m guessing. Up here in the North Valley they’re not cheap. But SOOO good, anyway.

April 26, 2010 at 11:15 amGorgeous photo! Just the site of these little babies brings back delightful memories of my father. Mom would cook them up for us, stuffed with garlic, plenty of olive oil and a pinch of salt & pepper. Then, dad & I would chow down on them at the kitchen table with a little homemade Italian vino – mmmmm!

April 26, 2010 at 4:08 pmAhmygoodness, I invented artichokes too.

April 27, 2010 at 12:26 pmHow does Bossy eat artichokes my favourite way and still say so gorgeously thin?
