Artichoke Hot Dip - Pat Ricker

     Hot Artichoke Dip has a long and varied history with me.  It's truly delicious and I love it, but it took years to develop that affinity.   This recipe is from my sis-in-law, Pat, and will make anyone an artichoke lover!
      I was in my late twenties, single, and looking forward to my teaching faculty's Christmas Party.  It was being held in a subdivision clubhouse in an unfamiliar area, filled with different Houston subdivisions.
     Of course I lost my way, winding around and around cul-de-sacs in several subdivisions - all with streets named after trees - Popular, Maple, Elm, Cypress.  Those names made me dizzy.  Finally I came upon a clubhouse with cars all around - this must be the place!  I went inside, was greeted warmly, and shown the food table where I could place my offering of tortilla chips (store bought).  Hey, I was young, poor, and single.
     I looked around, but saw no one familiar.  Hmmm, lots of spouses in attendance, I thought.  I began chatting up a few people and making my way to the food table, where I filled my plate with a large scoop of the artichoke dip and French bread.  It was so good and worked to ease my shyness while I was wondering where all the friends from work had hidden themselves.
     Ding, ding, ding - an unknown gentleman tapped his spoon on his glass for attention.  He began giving a thank-you speech to all the glass company employees for their success over the last fiscal quarter.  Uh oh - wrong party.
     I slinked my way out the door as quickly as possible, briefly wondering if I should reclaim my tortilla chips.  Back on the road (days before cell phones) I drove in circles once again, until I found the right clubhouse and party.
     By that time (all those circles around cul-de-sacs, nerves, embarrassment) my tummy was feeling quite ill.  I blamed it all on the artichoke dip instead of my poor sense of direction.  It took years for me to assign the blame to myself and enjoy a different recipe which my tummy and I both love!
