Message #1132 of 2744  *NEW* To From Subject Date ALL murphy brown   Steamed arties..... 9/10/04, 9:12pm Well thanks to all of your suggestions my arties came out perfect AFTER I finally found a store that carried them. COSTCO didn't have them and neither did Albertsons until today after 2. I cut off the stem and part of the top and cut the stickers off with scissors....sat them upright in a glass covered dish with a little water and cooked them 15 minutes......checked their bottoms like you suggested and cooked them another 5....Not one leaf is left uneaten. -------------------------------------------------------- "Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting..Holy Shit!!

What did you dip the leaves in before eating, if anything? (I like butter, butter and garlic, and mayo and garlic) -------------------------------------------------------- "All human arrogance and ego can be expressed in two words. 'You Should'.

My wife's doctor told her to not use anything but butter! I am not a big fan of the taste of butter, but that's what the doc says... -------------------------------------------------------- "All human arrogance and ego can be expressed in two words.

According to her, those things are far worse than the fat that butter brings to the table. I have heard this before as well..which is also why I use only natural peanut butter and not the JIF and SKIPPY that is FULL of that crap! -------------------------------------------------------- "All human arrogance and ego can be expressed in two words.

Hydrogenated fat or sounds like that. Thanks for the tip BB. Here I bought a far of Skippy LOW CARB peanut butter and didn't even know to check for what kind of fat...... Next time I'll buy raw peanuts........wait then there's that fear of salmonila.

DANG! > OK then, here is my secret for using Natural Peanut Butter. (Believe it or not, Laura Scutters puts out a really good natural peanut butter, but the same applies for that as well as say, a Trader Joe's product). When you get the natural peanut butter, you have to blend it by hand to get the oils back in the peanut butter (they separate). Then you are supposed to put the product in the fridge. Makes sense..except..after it has been in the fridge it makes the peanut butter into GLUE and you can't spread it to save your life! OK, here is the secret. Remove the top of the peanut butter container and pop it in the micro for 30 seconds. 30 seconds works great if the container is full or almost empty. THEN you use it! ENJOY! -------------------------------------------------------- "All human arrogance and ego can be expressed in two words. 'You Should'.

I'd be tempted to pour all that oil off but then I guess it would be past the GLUE stage. -------------------------------------------------------- "Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting..Holy Shit!!
