Jerusalem artichokes

When I pulled the bag of "I don't know whats" out of the packing box this week, I wondered what the @$#% (insert your favorite expletive here) I was going to do with 2 pounds of ginger. I looked through the included cookbook and found a picture of Jerusalem artichokes and thought, "hey-it's not ginger. Thank god!"

I have dinner on the stove/in the oven/in the Nesco roaster right now. I will let you know what's in store for dinner in a bit. In the meanwhile, here's some info on Jerusalem artichokes.
