God invented the artichoke because, in His infinite omniscience, He knew that someday, someone would invent Best Food’s Mayonnaise (known as Hellman’s east of the Rockies).
Lived in Monterey for 18 months and loved all the festivals: strawberry, squid, broccoli, garlic, etc. nothing like seeing someone drunk on garlic wine. Grew up in the Bay Area but never went until we lived there....
But now, no water, no festivals, right?
Try Duke’s mayo (in the south)....the best!
Meh, and the native language is Spanish these days.....
Maybe thats the reason why.
I used to smell the garlic all the way up in San Jose. You’re so right that the smell hasn’t been as strong in recent years. And the number of days has been reduced.....
I’m in your same position.
I miss my Grand parents too.
Hence my pic.
She was the 1st Miss Artichoke.
Have no idea if there was ever another...
Is the Central Texas bab still open?
