My sister is a cook out of necessity. That is, my mom would call or leave a note saying "Make lunch for your dad when he comes home." So what is there to make for one vegetarian for lunch? Being resourceful, she figured that it's best to combine all of my dad's favorites into one dish: olives, artichoke hearts, and mushrooms!
She called this The Artichoke Affair because, like me, she has a flare for the dramatics.
