Artichoke Intimidation

Well, it's true. 

I'm intimated by artichokes. 

I love artichoke hearts, dips, pasta's; anything that includes them.  I love them, but... I have never tried to make anything with them. 

There are several reasons really:

1.  I didn't know they came canned!  (Thanks, Amy for the info!)

2.  We (to my remembrance) never made them fresh growing up.

3.  Have you ever seen a fresh artichoke?  They have pointy ends and are covered in layers...



So, after having some fabulous dip my sis-in-law made, craving them for a while, having them again in dip recently (rinsing/sucking all the cheese off so Gracie could try it and loved them btw), I decided.  Enough was enough!  I am going to overcome my fear and learn how to prepare those scary looking greens.

Well, tonight's the night folks, I'm going on a Cooking Adventure! 

I found a website, SimplyRecipes.com, read over it (seems simple enough), and decided I can do it!

I'll let you know how it goes....
