OK, so I decided to just boil the artichokes, so I trimmed off all the tips,
sliced off the very tops, and cleaned up the stems with a vegetable peeler,
and just boiled them in salted water, planning to serve them with a dip of
some kind ultimately.

As I was throwing away the bag they came in, I noticed a recipe that sounds
REALLY good, and I will try it next time, but I wanted to share it with you.
This was included in a plastic card right inside the bag!

squeeze the lemon juice, drizzle olive oil and broth and stuff the garlic
bits in between.

This sounds so good I am sorry I didn't search the bag more thoroughly
before I started boiling them!
