Break a medium cauliflower into small 1" flouwerets. Cut two medium
carrots into the traditional carrot sticks. Steam until tender. Add,
still hot, to the Cauliflower and Carrots Marinade. Mix and chill.
The Mushrooms:
Clean 1/2 lb medium-sized mushrooms and remove the stems. Set the
stems aside for some other use--soup or sauce.) Steam the caps five
minutes, then marinate them in the Mushrooms Marinade. Mix well and
chill several hours.
Cook artichokes in water 40 minutes or so (in the usual fashion) until
done. Split each artichoke in half lengthwise and marinate,
face-down, in a shallow pan in Artichokes Marinade. Baste them as
they marinate.
