My grandmother and mother's house. The Sundary morning giant pots of sauce with meatballs. If you were patient enough you get to sneak a bowl of sause with a meatball. We too dipped bread into the sauce. That was one of the clearest memories of my grandmother. OMG! My grandmother and mother’s house. The Sundary morning giant pots of sauce with meatballs.

Your answer to fresh or canned?....is FRESH artichokes. You always want to use fresh with any dish if fresh is available to you. Fresh is the best! She said she removed layers till getting to the heart of the the artichoke, then quartered, fried in evoo with lemon and salt.Sounds awesome too! Hi Shanna,

I was very curious to know exzactly how you cooked your artichokes. Were they fresh from the market,in a can?? Did you have to steam them if they were fresh? I would love to try your recipe. Thanks, Shanna Graffeo Brooklyn, NY Hi,
