Stuffed Artichokes

Posted by BigAppleTiger on 11/3/26 at 7:51 pm
I was watching the Gilded Age last night and they had steamed or stuffed artichokes to dip in butter. This was a fixture in my house growing up in the 70's early 80's. Seemed like we had it at least twice a month for years as an appetizer. We would stuff with butter, herbs, and breadcrumbs and then dip the leaves in drawn butter. I never really hear or see this anymore. I always really liked getting the heart and dipping and polishing that off. Anyone used to the same?

I still can't figure out why he was in a relationship with Grace Jones in the 80's. It's baffling.


She got him his first very brief onscreen role as a henchman in View To a Kill.
You're new enough to this is original.. :rolleyes:
Available to stream tonight on HBO. Let's see where George and Bertha are and what Oscar and Enid will be getting up to and into. Will Agnes let Ada takeover the household? And what is going to happen to Jack? Will he invent the electric hand mixer? Will he and Brigit get together? Will Peggy and Marion make it to the altar? Tune in to find out these and other burning questions!!!

Where did you hear about this?
I was very excited from the trailers but even the attention to real game play fighting moves didn't save this one from being disjointed and a little boring. There was something in the tone and screenplay that just didn't work. I did appreciate the faithfulness to character style and moves though.
Here's a great video recipe about that very subject. Poule au Pot. Very simple, short, and well shot. I like this channel's simple recipes and videography

It's something Julian Fellowes has imported from Downton Abbey. We've lost Downton but Matthew's just inherited a fortune so we can stay! Edith has lost everything but her estate agent has just inherited a title, a castle and a fortune- and he wants her back!! :bow: It's a a silver plated Soap Opera and it's deliciously served!! :lol: :bow:

The new season looks fun. Looking forward to Oscar and Enid and their hijinx.
I usually switch between this and Vermont Curry. I love Japanese curry. Mild and comforting. I love it with a fried pork steak, Katsu, and white rice.

RIP Michael Wright

He was mostly known for The Five Heartbeats and Oz, but I will always remember discovering him in The Principal with Jim Belushi. He played a thug like no other- but in real life he was the most erudite, educated, and complex man. We distrusted each other at first, but in time grew to become what I would call a friend. His mother owned a great restaurant on 9th Avenue in Hells Kitchen called Jezebel. We actually bonded over French cinema. His favorite film of all time was Jean de Florette and Manon du Source was a close second. RIP to a good human being.



GOA will last about as long as Freedom Fries. But you fight the good fight. :cheers:
I think he and Alan Ritchson should do a buddy movie. This board would LOVE that. :bow:
And yet I can't find anyone who really compares to Joy - personality and looks factoring in the equation..

I will make it a point to watch anything Statham is in. He is just bankable. His moves are some of the best on screen. He is powerful and fluid to look at while he kicks arse. I keep on finding new movies I've never seen or heard of with Statham. I came across Redemption this past week. About a homeless alcoholic veteran with PTSD who is tracking down the killer of his homeless waif roommate who he shared a box with on the mean streets of London, while flirting with an sexually abused Polish nun and trying to be a better man for his abandoned daughter while working for the Chinese Mob. Yep. It was fricking great. :bow:

It is a parasitic relationship. At this point it nigh impossible to separate the two. One has to ask which is the parasite and which is the host.
