Comments on: Whisk Wednesdays: Filet Mignon and Artichokes with Bearnaise Sauce http://www.columbusfoodie.com/2008/06/25/whisk-wednesdays-filet-with-bearnaise/ Eating my way through Ohio one day at a time Fri, 10 Feb 2012 01:04:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Charise http://www.columbusfoodie.com/2008/06/25/whisk-wednesdays-filet-with-bearnaise/comment-page-1/#comment-53945 Charise Thu, 26 Jun 2008 16:48:51 +0000 http://www.columbusfoodie.com/2008/06/25/whisk-wednesdays-filet-with-bearnaise/#comment-53945 Have you ever tried the frozen artichoke hearts from Trader Joe's? That's what I use - it's less than $3 for a whole bag, and they are plain so don't have that pickled/vinegary taste like the canned ones. I find it a good compromise, because I also balk at paying that much for fresh artichokes and find their preparation too time consuming and finicky.

Sorry about that. I am better at cooking than computering. Obviously. Okay…that posted three times as I cannot figure out how to post on this. Sorry about that.

I just love that. Thanks for joining us. You do have an amazing blog. Okay...we have everyone's husband's name except Shari's...she is keeping him a secret maybe...LOL. Mark, Brian, Ryan, Paul...we are lucky they all like to cook and eat (Okay, Mark eats a whole lot more than he ever cooks, but he's always game for new things, so that counts for a lot). I was sad to hear that everyone had such problems with the artichokes as I found them so good and can't wait to make them again. I only paid $1.98 for one...you all paid more, so that might not be as much fun if I paid more and it didn't turn out. Ours were so velvety smooth and buttery soft tasting just so yummy with a bit of that sauce...we really liked them. Oh, yeah, and my artichokes were way more expensive than any of yours if you add in Justin's fee....LOL! Thanks for joining Whisk Wednesdays....I look forward to cooking each week with you...it was destiny the moment you bought that book.

What a funny post. I could FEEEL that prickly choke in my own throat when I read your hilarious description. You're right -- it's a lot of work and waste for such a small bit of edible veggie. I'm interested to know how the infrared thingamajiggy worked on your new grill. I have heard of such, but never seen. Or tasted. Hi, Becke! What a funny post.

Whisk Wednesdays sounds like an interesting blog event. I have made note of it. Gee, I think ol' Henry favored cabbage more than artichokes but I don't really see cabbage & bernaise making much of a marriage. Hi Becke,

You have the most amazing! blog.

Perhaps you cleaned the chokes correctly but they were not cooked long enough? Maybe next week will be better. I love that you and Paul made this together.
