Charcoaled Artichoke anyone?Justin is our main man when we want something grilled. These were no exception. They were just right. Green with a hint of brown, a tad bit smoky, and an aroma you would not believe.
He asked me what I thought and I (unfortunately) added my two cents even though they were grilled to perfection. "Maybe 5 more minutes". This was his little mistake he made: to entrust me with these beauties. He then put me in charge.
The next morning as I was lying in bed listening to the choir of our chirping feathered friends at 4:30 AM -( which always puts me in a most delightful mood, where is the BB gun?):) I shot up out of bed and to my terror screamed THE ARTICHOKES!
It seems I got a little busy and just about bar-b-qued my mom and the aunts. The grill was still going! It appears we like our artichoke a wee bit done with a hint of ash. Who knew?! I felt terrible and learned my lesson. And as my mom mentioned: I'll be in charge of the root beer floats from now on.
These did not involve the grill, so they fell into the safe category .:) I found this idea on someones blog and thought they would entice us to get our 5 servings of fruits and veggies in. It worked! I also thought these would be really tasty for a baby shower.
