  1. I inherited some interesting kitchen tools from my parents’ place. They used these tongs to pull cooked artichokes out of the steamer. So do I.

    Turns out it’s a tool to take canning jars out of boiling water.

    Whatever. It works great to lift artichokes without having them fall apart.

  6. Artichokes and Hollandaise

    When I was around 3 or 4, my pappy---mom's dad, who was a flying ace in WWI, started the peruvian air force, and taught us how to mislead mom---died. Well meaning neighbors from all over our East Tennessee suburban neighborhood of Colonial Heights brought endless cassaroles and other dining monstrosities. At three, I found this insanely not good. So after a few too many days of grean beans soaked in campbell's mushroom soup topped with dehydrated onions, I went crying to mom and asked her […]

  8. #OTD (Dec 21) in 1935, #NewYorkCity Mayor Fiorello #LaGuardia temporarily bans the sale of #artichokes in the city to eliminate a criminal monopoly thought to be taking in $1 million a year.

  10. TIL that Jerusalem artichokes and artichokes are not the same.

    I did make a recipe with artichokes instead of Jerusalem artichokes. (The artichoke and potato hash.) Still tasted nice, but it wasn't the right recipe.

    Unfortunately, quite a few recipes in the NiMe cookbook want Jerusalem artichokes, and these seem to be rare around here.

    "Would you like French fries with that?"

    "Yes."

    [Later]

    "Waiter! There's a problem with my order."

    "Oh?"

    "These fries are not French."

    "What makes you say that?"

    "They speak Spanish!"

  11. I think I'm old enough and wise enough to admit that maybe I just don't like #Artichokes.

    Definitely don't like preparing them.

    Pretty sure I rarely like eating them, which sometimes feels like just as much as work as preparing them.

    Simmered for a long time in something that renders them near undetectable? Sure, fine.

    Otherwise -- I think I'll just skip them.

  13. Thing about #artichokes is they’re basically just giant thistles tat you have to boil for like forever and even then finding out if they’re done involves asbestos gloves.

    Then you get the meanest morsel from the base of each leaf.

    But dipped in #vinaigrette and … 🤩

  20. I've lived in #Hungary for 15 years and my biggest complaint (beyond politics) is not weather, healthcare, language, people..
    It's how impossible it is to get #artichokes

  21. Want a bigger, better globe artichoke harvest next year? Limit each plant to 4–6 flowers to prevent exhaustion. In April, mulch with well-rotted compost to boost growth and keep plants strong for next season. A little restraint now means a bounty later! #gardening #artichokes

  23. Today I prepared artichokes for the first time. I trimmed the stems and sawed off the top inch and a half so that they could fit in my steamer basket. I might have cooked them for too long, as they were very much ready by the time I checked them around 50 minutes. It was a nice hanging out experience to slowly eat them while chatting, like doing crabs, I suppose. They are also shockingly lovely inside. They're thistles, who knew?!

  25. I have 6 whole artichokes and no idea what to do with them. I am open to suggestions.

    Today's produce rescue was mostly tomatoes and citrus. Those I can handle.

  27. A #Batman #tvseries style shot of the #Roselle pots with the #artichokes behind them.

    The tiny little Roselle was in the same lot of seedlings as the rest!

    The Roselle seedling I grew from seed is larger than it is.

    It seems to have root problems. When it’s been repotted it has only a tiny ball of roots each time.

    I’ve given it up for dead several times. 🤕

    It’s in the same potting mix as the others… ? Advice anyone?

  28. In honor of Monday's inauguration I've been making cocktails.

    Specifically the "Lite Treason" (by Beau Burtnick @ Kask , Portland Oregon).

    Modified White Russian (vodka, coffee liqueur, Cynar) under sweetened Mezcal hand whipped cream.

    A good drink for a bad day.

  30. Does anyone know any tasty #recipes for #Jerusalem #Artichokes please? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusale

    Been #growing some for a couple of years now. Would like to make some use of them.
