Nothing too exotic but oh so delicious

Picked up a nice looking artichoke and a leek from the local farmer's market the other day. Followed general instructions for prepping and roasting the artichoke and it came out wonderful -

I used a Mediterranean herb and garlic infused olive oil to roast the artichokes. I also followed this great NYT recipe for leeks & potato gratin -

The artichokes are definitely healthier than the leeks and potato gratin. Though for the gratin recipe I did replace the heavy cream with half & half and instead of Gruyere cheese a crumbled a smaller amount of Stilton blue cheese on top. Being a big fan of Stilton I think it really "made" the gratin recipe.
