  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.

  2. 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 […]

  3. #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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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 … 🤩

  6. 🚿🤔😡
    Fucking #artichokes 😕. What a difficult thing 😢.

  7. 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

  8. 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

  9. 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?!

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.
