The tapioca and curry seem a little out of place in that recipe, and I would probably opt for artichoke hearts packed in oil (unless she is on a diet).

Other than that it sounds pretty decent.

I don't think I would like it....

But if she has those kind of tastes, I am sure it would be delicious! :) Your girlfriend is lucky.

It's usually the other way around.

She cooked last night and is away at campus all day today, so I figured I'd suprise here with dinner. Now I just need to figure out what kind of sauce to have with the pasta that I am combining with the chicken.

i happen to love artichoke and chiken, so go for it.

leave out the olives though, olives are only good by themselves and with martinis, they ruin anything else.
