"Artichokes...
are just plain annoying...
After all the trouble you go to, you get about as much actual 'food' out of eating an artichoke as you would from licking thirty or forty postage stamps.
Have the shrimp cocktail instead.

The refrigerator light goes on...
This is the perfect summer meal. The shrimp can be steamed in advance, the cocktail sauce and salad dressing made and the corn wrapped for roasting. As soon as the corn is finished everything else is easy to serve up and so good for you.
