OK everyone, I have a very simple recipe for fantastic artichokes and dip.

Artichokes are in season right now and the are huge. At least they are in California.

First of all ------Steam the artichoke ----NEVER BOIL [they get mushy and wet]
Cut straight across each tip to remove the stickers.
Use a knife to cut the top flat.
Cut stem off at the base of the artichoke.

Put water in steamer just below your basket.
Add to water.
Little olive oil
Italian seasonings
Garlic clove.

Place artichokes in basket, base down.
Steam until a leaf pulls off easily and taste tests perfectly. Approximately 45 min to 1 1/2 hour, depending on size.

DIP

Mayonnaise (MUST BE BEST FOODS - Helman's [I think] in the east)
squeeze of fresh lemon juice
Lawrey's Lemon Pepper to taste.

So simple, but absolutely delicious!!!!

......I'll trade you some pecan for some apple! <G>

Your on. This spring when the growers start trimming their trees I will load up. I can UPS you a box from the shop.

As to feeding an army, I sometimes do:) I usually have a spring barby where I do a turkey or 2 and 3 or 4 marinated pork tenderloin's so I need the room.

Favorite quick meal on the grill for just the family:

Season a bird of appropriate size (I use duck, geese, small turkey or chicken it doesn't matter).
Grab 1 can of beer per bird and drink half of each. Kind of kidding but you do need 1/2 can per bird.
Put your favorite sauce in the top half of can and stuff up the birds cavity so that it stands upright on the can.
Toss it on the grill in an upright position.
15 minutes before completion remove can and baste bird's with remaining sauce.

Really good, simple and quick. First time you need to use a thermometer though because you will over cook the bird otherwise. You can't believe how quickly it will get done.
