Add any garlic? ;)[/quote]<br><br>Yes, sorry, left that off the list but did not leave it out of the dip. I just used some store bought minced roasted garlic - about one teaspoon in with the artichokes and the spinach and then about two teaspoons in with the final mix with the cheeses and stuff.<br><br>Twice as much would have been better.<br><br>Fresh minced cloves would have been much, much better but I forgot to buy it and I was out.<br><br>Mon, 20 Aug 2007 15:20:19 GMTHopshttp://www.addictivefishing.com/forum/Topic20032-5-1.aspxsounds like a good dip.

Add some pepper flakes<br><br>Drink a beer – watch some baseball.<br><br>Mash the spinach and artichokes to a pulp. Throw in a couple of dollops of Dukes mayonnaise<br><br>Microwave about a half of a cup of cream cheese to get it soft.<br><br>While that is happening grate about a half cup of Parmesan cheese and watch Smoltz fan an Arizona batter.<br><br>Throw about 3 generous dollops of sour cream into the cream cheese.<br><br>Dump all the stuff together and let it meld for a few minutes.<br><br>Get another beer and watch the game and get some chips and dip.<br><br>I’m thinking the only thing that could make this better is for the Braves to make the Series again and maybe to add a fistful or two of crab meat to the dip.<br><br>dollop of sour cream on top would not hurt.<br><br><br>[edit] I have to clean my stove top - it still has a purple spot from the supposedly "black beans".[/edit]<br>Sun, 19 Aug 2007 15:44:50 GMTHops
