Grilled Artichokes on Olive Motif Glass Platter
Grilled Artichokes at Brunch on Sunday. Delicious. I was a fortunate guest. Here is one recipe. I love the pattern of the leaves. My mother never prepared an artichoke in her kitchen. When I was a young wife, everyone made hot artichoke dip, using artichoke hearts, drained from a can or a jar and adding a ton of mayo and parmesan cheese, probably from the green can. Spread on a cracker. I liked it at the time. Erika’s Aunt Georgann makes them a tasty rich way with stuffing at Christmas. Artichokes are part of the thistle family and some varieties have thorns.

Such a beautiful presentation on that platter. The local Mom and Pop’s Italian place prepares a wonderful pasta with artichokes that I can not resist. Everything in moderation?

Love it! Every time I ask if I can bring something, the chorus goes up, “Bring your artichoke dip!” I do use Light Hellman’s.
