No worries Martha :)
I am the world's worst at procrastinating.....................so I'm with you all the way there ;)
I owe 2 other people on here PMs, so let's feel guilty together, eh? :o

You must be very clever Martha................because I haven't had a headache since that night!!
Thank you so much for your good wishes and healing vibes; cos they obviously did the trick :thumbup:
Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to posting on here! :unsure:

Loved your comments about the ironing too!! :D
Mind you, it doesn't seem so bad when you can lose yourself in "Cold Feet" and James Nesbitt!! ;)

Glad to see you enjoyed the coffee morning on Saturday; sounds like a great time was had by all.

Will catch up with you soon xx

Re: Arichoke heads....
 

Thank you so much for that info, Carol - it was very helpful :thumbsup:
Unfortunately, for me.............the guide to vegetarian restaurants throughout Spain, produced a big fat ZERO for Extremadura!!

If only I was a really good cook, I could start up a new business here!!

P.S I still haven't tried an artichoke; but after your painstaking description of how to prepare them, I'm beginning to wonder if they're a bit more trouble than they're worth!? :ohmy:
Especially bearing in mind big wheels' comment!! :eek:

Hope all is well with you?

All the very best,
Sam.

Re: Arichoke heads....
 

YIKES!! :eek:

I hope they taste better than sprouts as well!??

Re: Arichoke heads....
 

Hola! Sam,
How are things your way?
Been busy since I heard the Christmas play is next week! And, disaster! My computer isn't allowing me to post smilies.
Re: artichokes. Last time I cooked these must have been around 20 years ago!
Re: sprouts. This problem only effects men, didn't you know?lol (no smilies again! Oh dear! Heelllppp!!!)
Regards,
Carol

Re: Arichoke heads....
 

Hola Carol!

Well, I've got an abundance of smilies (as always ;)) so here are a few to brighten your evening :D

Yes, all is well with us thank you :thumbup:
Have been to Caceres and Salamanca recently, and keep meaning to post some photos on here. Will get around to it one of these days! :ohmy:

Love your comments about the effects of sprouts!! :lol:

It's funny you know; but I'd never even contemplated eating an artichoke until this thread was started - and now it seems like I'm seeing them everywhere I go!! :blink:

What's your involvement in the Christmas play, then?
I take it it's a school play? (Sorry, I can't quite remember who does what on here! :o)
Oh how I used to love this time of year in my old job in the Primary school :wub:

Take care, and try not to get too "Christmassed out!!" :eek:

All good wishes,
Sam.

Re: Arichoke heads....
 

Please can i change the thread to


Artichoke! :thumbsup:


Mind you couldn't do a lot with either!

Re: Arichoke heads....
 

Bump!
Dragged this one back when I heard on another cookery program that there is such a thing (vegetable) as a Jerusalem Artichoke. Well, blow me down! It's like a potato!

Re: Arichoke heads....
 

It`s a sunflower root I think, never tasted it though.

Re: Arichoke heads....
 

There you go! Almost anything can be edible!:lol:
