"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Ingredients:  
Artichokes - 6
Flavored Bread Crumbs - 3 cups
Olive Oil 2TBSP
Romano Cheese - 1 cup
6 Cloves Garlic
Salt - 1tsp
Pepper 1tsp
Directions:
Directions:
Soak the artichokes in water 4-6 hours or overnight. This helps to open them up which will make it easier to stuff them.

Cut the tips of the artichokes - they are pointy and it makes it hard to eat.
Make sure the artichoke is open and you are able to get the stuffing in between each leaf.

Mixture:
Combine bread crumbs, cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix this well. Add oil a little at a time to moisten the mixture. Once moistened (you may not need all the oil or you may need a little more) you can begin stuffing the artichoke. Grandma (and now grandpa) stuffs each leaf along with the middle. The artichoke should appear very full.

Once stuffed, place the artichoke in a large pot on top of the stove. Fill water up to 11/8 of artichoke. Place cover on top of pot and steam on low heat. Cook for 3-4 hours or until soft. Continue to add water as needed. Do not let the water to dry out or the bottom of the artichoke will burn.
