Images are in honor of my mother. Like her sisters and my grandmother, my mother not only loved artichokes, but made a wonderful version stuffed with thin slices of romano cheese, garlic and bread. Back in those days, artichokes were in season only briefly once a year here, but it was a gloriously delicious short season.
