They would make a nice color contrast. I am not picking on you, I'm just taking food styling classes, and it makes me look at the food pictures in a specific way :)<br /><br />Would order either of them (or both) right away.amarillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09426085227827859354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379237.post-29246616136730432422009-06-08T21:16:56.489-05:002009-06-08T21:16:56.489-05:00Diane, thanks for commenting about the artichokes....Diane, thanks for commenting about the artichokes. We also use canned artichokes, on a lunch salad, and in our baked artichoke crock. I stress "fresh" when using fresh, but there is a time and place for everything. There is no way we could use fresh artichokes for our crock and charge a reasonable price. Artichokes are costing me $1.20 a piece, plus prep time. On the other hand I would never try to pass canned off as fresh. The oil packed ones are good, and i've grilled them with great sucess, but they still aren't fresh.<br /><br />thanks for appreciating the little thingsMichael Walshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13821410826722418340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379237.post-32997566055955859282009-06-08T20:28:05.670-05:002009-06-08T20:28:05.670-05:00It all looks so great.

Those would sell me on a dish- everytime. single. time.<br /><br />Do you know how many times Steve and I have been out to dinner and a dish caught my attention because of artichokes and I ask to make sure they are fresh, am told "oh, yes" only to be served canned or oil packed artichokes. Ugh. too many times.DianeShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08886256363470502624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379237.post-62415701237265786592009-06-08T18:43:23.516-05:002009-06-08T18:43:23.516-05:00Michael, everything looks fantastic!
