Yes, totally off topic, probably not very interesting, but I tried that
grilled artichoke recipe again last night, and they came out much nicer. This time I marinated them for 2 days (instead of an hour) and wrapped them in foil before putting them on the grill. I seared them for 5 minutes outside the foil. This last bit was probably unnecessary. They came out very tender and tasty, in some bits very sweet. The mayo sauce was also really good.
I also discovered something you already know--corn on the cob on the BBQ is really, really good... I like doing it in the husk.
