Yeah, along with the price of broccoli and every other freaking thing. I love artichokes and I can't get them for less than $1.99 a piece! I've finally turned into my grandmother. I stand in the produce section bitching along with all the other old biddies about how I "never thought I would live to see the day that __________ costs $________!!!!"
Hi Harry~ Maybe you should try the cucumber section. You'll be surprised! they've gone up in size!** At my store they are very reasonably priced. I think about a dollar. I don't know if they are in season but they look firm and crisp. They're great to snack on. Most people like them with dip. I like them with salt. I know. It's not good for me but I think it brings out their natural flavor. Give them a try. Your body will thank you because they are really good for you :) :)

I am acutely and obsessively aware of the price and size of cucumbers. As soon as I hit the produce section, it's my first stop. FYI, I prefer the big English ones. ;-)
Harry, big giggles, you know I know you know I know! That is why I was surprised to find you perusing the artichokes when the cucumbers can be much more inviting. You know what it was? I forgot to mention the most important fact. It's not the size of the cucumber. It's the English accent that makes them all the more tastier. Winks and smiles!
I grow my own, slice and add a bit of salt. After a half an hour I dry off the moisture and put them in a mixture of vinegar, onions, a bit of water and lots of ground pepper. They are ready in an hour. Very refreshing. My wife likes them with sour cream.
They sound very inviting Element. Your wife is a lucky women! If you don't mind, I would like to try that recipe. I have a couple of cucs in the refrigerator right now. While Don is work, I can whip those up and it will be a nice surprise for him when he gets home. Thanks Element :) :)
