Artichoke Coda
I cut three at lunchtime for dinner — I’ve lost my fear of cutting the big beauty. I put them in the solar cooker with a little vinegar and by seven this evening they were scrumptious with vinaigrette and some wonderful levain bread Numenius found at the Village Bakery. (For a beautifully written review article on the French and their bread, see this article here.)
I once ate 12 artichokes at a sitting. That seems excessive, even to me. Would I do it again? Go ahead, dare me.

I dare you, Pica! Thanks BTW, for your recent comments on our blog – They are still scratching their heads as to how they are going to get the ship off the beach!
Can I watch?
I dare you too!
Goodness.
I’ll see what I can do, gals.
