Cheesy Artichoke Dip

Small yogurt container size of Sour Cream
Small Cream Cheese container
Bag of shredded Parmesan Cheese
Half a bag of shredded Mozzarella Cheese, about 1½ cups (300 grams)
Garlic (as much or as little as you would like)
(2) cans of Artichoke hearts (In water, if in oil I wash them off)
If I have some white wine on hand, I put a splash in there if it is really hard to stir.

Mix it all together in a brownie pan to bake, but you could really put it in anything
25 minutes or so at 350 degrees F (200 degrees C) – top should be browned just a wee little bit
Stir well and serve hot with bread or crackers
The portions for me are never the same. Mayo can also be substituted for either the sour cream or cream cheese. Use your judgment on how much mozzarella to add, if you put in too much, when it cools it all congeals together.

I swear, you are just too damn cute. Posting your dip... that ROX!

I am so going to steal this and use it to win over some woman's heart.

Man do I miss you guys.

Keep up the posts. I love reading about everything you guys are doing, the job hunting, and the differences in culture. It's incredibile how much a person forgets.

This has always been a favorite!

Now here's the drill for a light summer meal:

Cheesy Artichoke Dip with some veggies and french bread

Drink the rest of the white wine

And for the end the meal:

Heat up a couple bars of good chocolate (Godiva) in the microwave. Wash a few strawberries but leave the tops on and dip a few strawberries into the melted chocolate. Put those in the fridge. Cut two bananas sliced in half the long way, spread with creamy peanut butter then put the other cut half over the peanut butter. Reheat the chocolate and pour over the top of the banana. Put the bananas in the freezer for about 30 minutes or so and serve. Easy, cheap and another good way to impress a lady ;)

Gotta help anyway I can, and from here, that is the best I can do. Unless you come over and visit us!
