For a big artichoke somewhere between 30 and 40 minutes, test for doneness by sticking a cooking fork into the bottom and also pulling of a leaf.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-895612493514858062016-04-01T22:14:39.142-04:002016-04-01T22:14:39.142-04:00I know John, I have pricked my fingers many a time...I know John, I have pricked my fingers many a time and yet, other times they aren't sharp at all.

She was burned out on them for a while because one time she (thought) she scraped off all of those spiny hairs, but when she went to eat the heart a single hair got stuck in her throat. And it was there scratching her for hours, no matter how much water she drank. She didn't eat another one for at least a year. I don't blame her. I mean, an artichoke did try to kill her.A Beer for the Showerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029139745335325356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-57293042353200297122016-04-01T10:24:15.942-04:002016-04-01T10:24:15.942-04:00I love them Alex.
