Leave the artichokes in the grocery store.
After an excellent dish with artichokes and lemon butter sauce in Namu (San Francisco), we foolishly got enthusiastic about trying out artichokes.
Ha.
In fact, ha ha ha. We boiled the artichokes forever, and poked ourselves with the thorns while trying to peel out the outer leaves. Then we pureed it, and built some serious biceps trying to strain out the fibre. (There's a woman going on about fibre on the TV, she should have tried the leftover from our strainer yesterday - I'm sure it's enough fibre for a year!)
Then we finally made the soup (according to some possibly misguided recipe with white sauce).
Guess what it tasted like.
White sauce.
So much for all that artichoke effort- next time I feel like that soup (which is very unlikely), I'll just make white sauce :)
