Baby Artichokes With Lemon Garlic Vinaigrette

We all know people who are no longer with us as a result of drinking and driving, both being drunk and also being hit by someone who was drunk. Not only is drinking a motor vehicle while being impaired a violation of the law, it is also one of the most selfish actions we can commit. To strip a family of a parent or child simply because the person wanted to consume too much alcohol and was too cheap or too prideful or too lazy to call for assistance is in my opinion one of the most heinous sins. I believe Matthew 7:12 comes into play here: “In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.”

INSTRUCTIONS

a
Shortly before cooking, rotate each baby artichoke against the blade
of a very sharp stainless steel paring knife to trim off the  outermost
layer of leaves. Cut off the stems level with the bottom of  the
artichoke, and cut off and discard the top half. Toss in lemon  juice
to keep them from darkening.  Put the trimmed artichokes in a
nonaluminum pot with enough cold  water to cover them by about 1-inch.
Place a small plate directly on  the artichokes -- in the pan -- to
keep them submerged. Bring to a  simmer over high heat. Turn the heat
to low and keep the artichokes  at a bare simmer for about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette. Combine the garlic, lemon juice and
parsley. Whisk in oil. Season with salt and pepper.  Poke the
artichokes with a paring knife to test for doneness. Should  feel like
a slightly underdone boiled potato. When done, drain and  pour
vinaigrette over them.  Yield: 4 side servings  Converted by MC_Buster.
