Christianity burst into a corrupt world with a brilliantly new moral radiance... The moral level of society was dismal, and sin prevailed in many forms... Into this discouraged world came Christ and His Spirit-transformed disciples, filled with holy joy, motivated by a love which the pagans could not grasp, and proclaiming Good News-the message that God has provided a Savior... The Christians lived in tiny communities knit together in the power of the Holy Spirit, little colonies of heaven. They thought of themselves as pilgrims on their way to the celestial city, but they were very much concerned to manifest the love of Christ in all human relationships.

INGREDIENTS

2		Globe artichokes,; about 8 to 12 ounces each
		Melted butter and lemon wedges if you are serving them h
		Vinaigrette or salad dressing, if you are serving them c

INSTRUCTIONS

Cut off stem and with a sharp knife trim the base so artichokes sit flat.
Make a cut across the top of the leaves, parallel to the base. With
scissors, trim the leaves so they have straight edges.
To cook conventionally, bring a large shallow pan of salted water to a
boil. Submerge artichokes, cover tops with a heat proof heavy plate to keep
them submerged and cook for 35 to 45 minutes or until a leaf in middle can
be pulled out easily. Drain them upside down so water runs out.
To cook in microwave, wrap each one individually in microwavable plastic
wrap and set them in a round plate. Microwave for 10 minutes or until a
center leaf can be pulled out easily. Remove plastic wrap (carefully; it
will be hot).
Serve as is, with each person pulling out a leaf and dipping it in melted
butter, or remove cone of dinner leaves in one fell swoop and reserve them
for later. With a small spoon scoop out choke. Replace cone of leaves,
upside down and serve with melted butter seasoned with lemon or
vinaigrette.
Yield: 2 servings
