ARTICHOKE PARTY POKE BRUSCHETTA

You wanna bang?  Artichokey Dokey!

You wanna bang? Artichokey Dokey!

Have you ever found yourself without inspiration on what sort of vittles to bring to a party?  Ever been scrambling to figure out a classy snack to serve your date with a great bottle of red?  Bruschetta to the rescue!  It’s light, tasty and goddamn refreshing.  Did I mention how simple it is to prepare?  You could whip up a batch with your eyes wide shut leaving you plenty of time to tame those clothes your date is still wearing.  Be sure to remind them that bruschetta is part of the Mediterranean diet.  Be sure to emphasize that you are looking out for their health. The fact the artichoke is a turbo-charged APHRODISIAC is beside the point.  Just go with it when they pounce on you and making a disappearing act of your pants.  Abra-bang-dabra!

    Looks special. In the next few months, after the winter will pass, i want to build my own house. I think everybody knows what means after…a lot of parties that will have many cooking moments. At the moment i am a big stranger in the kitchen, and when i see this big culinary and gastronomy recipes. At the end it’s more then art, it’s talent, and no one can do them, without practice. I hope to gain this in time, and hope to have the luck to prepare some of the best recipes that big chefs are presenting.
