Simple Artichoke prep

I think I can handle this....


To prepare artichokes: Wash and trim stem so artichoke stands upright.
Cut off top quarter of artichoke; if desired, snip tips off remaining petals with kitchen scissors.
Stand prepared artichoke in deep saucepan or pot with 3inches of boiling water.
Oil, lemon juice, and seasonings may be added to cooking water, if desired.
Cover and boil gently, checking water level occasionally, 25 to 40 minutes depending upon size or until a petal near the center pulls out easily.

pull apart and serve with a dip.
