Misconstrued

After reading the comments and talking to my Mom, I realized I was clear as mud in my last post!

What I was trying to say about the artichoke:

You know when you are watching Fast Money, and one family member will freeze up in their given 15 seconds.  The question may be, "What is the best way to get a hold of your children when out with friends?" and the frozen family member will say something along the lines of, "send a telegraph or CB radio" or even something completely unrelated, like "bathtub."

On the inside, everyone is thinking, what the h*ll did she just say, but on the outside your overly supportive family members are yelling, "Good answer, good answer!"

In order to clear things up here, let me say one or two, or ten things:

I LOVE MAYO WITH MY ARTICHOKE AND NOTHING ELSE.

In my eyes, mayo and artichokes go together like:

Peanut Butter & Jelly

Laverne & Shirley

Macaroni & Cheese

Cake & Ice Cream

Lucy & Ricky

Wine & Cheese

Aviana & I

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Ketchup, but not on my artichoke!

Sorry for the confusion, I can tell, you too, feel the very same way about your artichoke :o)

  3. Phew...so glad you cleared that one up!!! I was beginning to think you had gone crazy!!! :) I, too...am a butter lover on my artichokes, but have never tried mayo. Guess the next time I'm in Cali. (which is the only place I've ever eaten an artichoke) I'll have to try it!!! Hope you're having a fabulous day!!!!!

  5. As a woman married to a proud man from Pittsburgh, home to 57 Varieties Heinz, I was relieved to see that despite the clarification, you reconfirmed that, in fact, you do love ketchup - just not on your artichokes. Our friendship might have been rocked to the core, had you not done so.

    Fondly,

  6. LOL - seriously. I thought about it after I'd posted my comment, and realized it was a reference to Fast Money. Duh! I'm such a putz sometimes. But then I thought - hey! Wait a minute. Jen doesn't even LIKE tomatoes. What are the chances she likes ketchup? But you say you do? Like ketchup? Okay, now I am officially confused.

    Just don't ever try syrup on your perogies!
