Loading ...Man on man, this sounded so good I just had to post it in our Blender Recipes series. I have got to try this recipe, but god forbid I should try to get Don to eat an artichoke. If any of you try this, let me know how it is:
2 red bell peppers
2 artichokes (1 pound)
12 cups water
3 lemon slices
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon dried fines herbes
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon finely crumbled feta cheese
1/2 teaspoon capers
Preheat broiler.
Cut bell peppers in half lengthwise, discarding seeds and membranes. Place pepper halves, skin sides up, on a foil-lined baking sheet; flatten with hand. Broil for 10 minutes or until blackened. Place in a zip-top plastic bag; seal. Let stand 20 minutes. Peel and set aside.
Cut off artichoke stems, and remove bottom leaves. Trim about 1 inch from tops of artichokes. Bring water, lemon slices, and bay leaf to a boil in a large Dutch oven. Add artichokes; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 25 minutes or until a leaf near the center of each artichoke pulls out easily. Drain well; discard lemon and bay leaf. Set aside.
Combine bell peppers, oil, mustard, and vinegar in a blender; process until smooth. Combine bell pepper mixture, fines herbes, and black pepper. Spoon 2/3 cup into a serving bowl; sprinkle with feta and capers. Serve with artichokes. Cover and chill remaining dip.

Wow, that would be delicious right about now… I will have to get a life as soon as this fussretatin’ is over!
Is this an illegal dip recipe?
That makes it a little more exciting.
No, its not an illegal dip recipe, though that would make it exciting. People are just determined to annoy me this week.
Its petty grievances week at the Shattered Prayer! Come on everyone, air your grievances!
Mine concerns aboutus.org, if you hadn’t noticed. I also have a petty grievance against people who make petty grievances about tiny little blogs that cater to all of 5 people!
I thought it might be petty grievance week. I’ll be sure to air mine soon!
I could swear Mercuri is in retrograde with all the minor annoyances going on. But he’s not in retrograde, so I have no idea whats going on.
Last week, major anxiety, this week, petty annoyances that seem fashioned just to exacerbate the remnants of said major anxiety.
People need to just give me a fucking break already.
I will withhold my petty grievances, then.
Sorry for all these annoyances!
No, you can air your petty grievances, as long as they’re not about me.
I have no Che grievances, only grad school ones, and even I’m bored my those. No point in airing them really because everyone (myself included) will die from boredom if I mention g.s. again.
Other than that, I have no real petty grievances except with our disgusting neighbors. They are too lazy to clean up all their dog’s shit, which they leave far too close to my driveway and sidewalk. It’s unsanitary, gross, and smelly. Just like them! Hate those assholes. Of course, they’re devout christians. No surprise there.
Yeah, manky christians next door is a good grievance. We have a christian minister living next door. Can’t say he’s manky though. He keeps a gorgeous yard, cleans up after his dog, and throws really wild parties.
Hey, in all my years of church, I never had a minister like that! If I had, I may have considered not running away screaming at age 18! Wait, my stepdad was the boring minister. Hmm, figures.
And it’s such a lovely Full Moon right now.. OK, it itches… but that’s actually kind of nice when you think of it!
How rude… It’s a great recipe, Che!
I have got to get me a blender!
What about this one, Bas?

Looks nice, and folks seem to like it. Not terribly pricey (uh, I guess… not sure about exchange rates).
It’s a dream machine! 1.5 liters.. That’s 3 pints
I got a great shop close by that sells any kind of kitchen equipment.. i’ll pay them a visit.
Mmm.. something with blue cheese… Blue cheese dip..
Go for it, Bas. Be a Blender Guy!
