Sorry about the diabetes (my mom had it with me), but if you really really want a bit of pasta, you could always try some gluten free brown rice pasta, which is also lighter than wheat pasta... Anyways, wonderful job with this challenge!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062356325591319347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542737621961823052.post-27210934578465221372009-08-15T00:03:24.699+02:002009-08-15T00:03:24.699+02:00I actually enjoyed being pushed to try the fresh a...I actually enjoyed being pushed to try the fresh artichoke.

But there I find you with the same issue! I did buy two of the things and having never prepared and artichoke in my entire life, I can safely say that I will not attempt that again! Soooo little was left of the thing! Was it too small or is that normal? Anyway, love your idea to use scallops too; would have saved me the whole squid scare..lolSimones Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04667120955135293165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542737621961823052.post-65085651628608291382009-08-14T15:50:26.537+02:002009-08-14T15:50:26.537+02:00LOL@ your artichoke letter to the DK gods!
