Artichokes With Scallion Tomato Vinaigrette

There are only two ways that you can believe you can come to God; either on the merits of Christ or on your own merits. It's either by grace and grace alone or it's by works or some mixture of grace and works. It's only two things. There's only two kinds of religion in the world. The religion of divine accomplishment, the religion of human achievement, Christianity, the true gospel is the religion of divine accomplishment: God does it all, you simply believe. Every other religious system in the world is a religion of human achievement.

artichokes, microwave the artichokes, covered, at high power (100%)
for 15 minutes, or until the bases are tender, and let them stand,
covered, for 5 minutes.  In a bowl whisk together the vinegar, the oil,
and salt and pepper to  taste, whisking the dressing until it is

the artichokes at room  temperature.  Serves 2.  Gourmet April 1992
