[Magdalen] Tickle Box Repair, Jon-style

[Grace Cangialosi]

Funny timing!  At the grocery today I saw a woman in the produce aile who
was intrigued by the pile of terrific-looking artichokes.  She read the
sign and asked me what you do with them. They really are formidable
looking, and these were especially beautiful looking.  So I explained how I
cook them, which is just to boil or steam them and just pull of he leaves
one by one and dip them in melted butter.  She seemed intrigued, but
dubious.  I suggested she try a can of artichoke hearts to see if she liked
those.  She had also never seen or eaten Swiss chard, which was a little
ways down from the artichokes.  I told her you cook it just like other
greens. She said she loves greens.  Don't know if she bought any of that...
