People always say that food carries an emotional and personal connection to to it. I tend to avoid talking about those kind of things on this blog, because I try to mainly focus on the food. Now this recipe doesn't have any personal or emotional for me, I mean it's just artichokes and sauce, but I feel like I've created a connection with this dish. Let's be honest you're not reading this post for the personal story behind it, you probably just found this recipe on Google or someone repined it on Pinterest and you just want to look at the pictures, or you'll just scroll down to the recipe without reading this text block.

Since this recipe is pretty short I'm going to continue with my narrative. Sometimes people fall out of your life and they don't come back, the universe can be cruel like that, and there's nothing you could have done to change the outcome. Other times those people come back into your life and it's all the time spent apart from each other that make you realize how important they were to you and how important they still are to you. This simple little dish of artichokes and hollandaise sauce will always remind me of that feeling of someone great reentering your life, even if it's in some small way.
