I was drinking while I was cooking so I don’t know exactly what I did to make this hot artichoke dip.
I do know that Smoltz and the Braves bonked Arizona.
I do know that Smoltz was striking them out like they were Grannies slapping at flies.
I do know that I put a tablespoon of this dip on the top of my wife’s head and her tongue beat a hole through the top of her skull just to get a taste of it.
What I remember –
Chop up about 4 or 6 artichoke hearts
Chop up about 6 fists full of spinach
Cook them in as little water as you can with a little salt and a little garlic and about ¼ of an onion minced fine. Add some pepper flakes
Drink a beer – watch some baseball.
Mash the spinach and artichokes to a pulp. Throw in a couple of dollops of Dukes mayonnaise
Microwave about a half of a cup of cream cheese to get it soft.
While that is happening grate about a half cup of Parmesan cheese and watch Smoltz fan an Arizona batter.
Throw about 3 generous dollops of sour cream into the cream cheese.
Dump all the stuff together and let it meld for a few minutes.
Get another beer and watch the game and get some chips and dip.
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.
dollop of sour cream on top would not hurt.
[edit] I have to clean my stove top - it still has a purple spot from the supposedly "black beans".[/edit]

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.
Twice as much would have been better.
Fresh minced cloves would have been much, much better but I forgot to buy it and I was out.
