And as you will see, I have moved across the bay this somewhere.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11068348526232036423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5446802283239662385.post-51935416688807237622014-06-22T13:08:33.594-04:002014-06-22T13:08:33.594-04:00Never had a grilled artichoke, but we love them in...Never had a grilled artichoke, but we love them in all their incarnations---even the little slumpy canned hearts, which make a lovely warm crab dip when they're dried a bit on a paper towel, chopped, then mixed with a bit of crushed garlic, a spoonclop of mayo, and a cup or so of fresh-grated Parm, with one of the pound cans of lump crabmeat from Sam's. <br /><br />A little session in a gratin in the oven, some pita chips or crudité for dipping, and that's a gather-round party.<br /><br />We've even gone at it hind-side to, with everything BUT the artichokes, then some fresh-steamed leaves for dipping.<br /><br />That remoulade looks scrumptious.<br /><br />I'm envisioning you now, in the not-quite-July of Little Compton, thinking of your Fourth festivities. I always see you in a Summer dress and sandals, heading out a white gate to the picnic, with a just-made-this-morning berry pie, the luscious juices all bubbled up around the cut-out stars in the crust, and the whole thing under a pretty cloth to match the lining of the carry-basket.<br /><br />I think that's how I imagine your whole life, in a place so remote to my own ken, in that magical atmosphere of a place called Little Compton.<br /><br />Hope you're having a marvelous Summer!RachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.com
