Artichokes

simple:

  1. Prep artichokes by slicing off the top, then using scissors to trim the tops of all leaves below the top-cut.  Finish by lopping off the end of the stem so there's a fresh cross-section exposed.
  2. Boil water in a pot with 3 cloves of garlic, add steamer basket, place prepped 'chokes, along with a stick of butter in a small pyrex dish with a matching lid.
  3. Set timer for 30 minutes, keep fire just hot enough for a boil that doesn't sound too angry.
  4. Transfer 'chokes and butter dish to platter, take to table.
