Monster artichoke bigger than the cat's head

Tonight for dinner we had nothing but a giant artichoke apiece, with garlic mayonnaise. It was plenty of food, I'll tell you what, and tasty! Plus the whole thing only cost about $2.75, and that's counting the garlic and the mayonnaise. Who could ask for anything more?

Oh, Lord, that sounds good.

And WAY enough for dinner.

But I have a problem, now I'm in Pittsburgh -- 12 years out of the Bay Area and I still can't bring myself to buy artichokes that cost more than 33 cents apiece.

I'm not in artichoke country anymore, alas. But I just can't believe it.

Maybe I'll give in soon. Sometimes I do.
