    Mmm! These sound so tasty and so interesting. I don’t cook with artichokes that much…actually at all…but I realy like spinach artichoke dip (although I know htat’s not very healthy), and I know that artichokes grow really well where I’m from. I think I’m going to plant some in my garden for next year!
