Terry,
So glad to hear from you, after our discussion the other night.
I am so sorry, but just about eat then gal-avant.Please believe me it's not a normal Thursday night habit.
I am not a "serial" gal-avanter.
I have a few ideas of my own....not sure about the globe artichokes...as I don't grow them, only, so far, grown Jerusalem ones.
Absolutely delicious as a soup or roasted, but they do make you fart.
Must go, but speak soon (particularly on the "what's going on in your head...stuff.)
