Okay, before I get to the recipe..It's time for an Artichoke joke :)

A hitman named Artie walked into a Dominick's grocery-store and took out 3 rival mob members. After he was apprehended someone asked him why he did it. He said he was paid a dollar to rub these three people out.

What do you think the newspaper read the next day? 

Artichokes 3 for a dollar at Dominick's!

Corny yes? Funny, no, unless you grew up in my house :)

On to this weeks' recipe!
