 That reminds me, I was at the in-laws on Sunday, and they've been growing veggies in one of those community gardens in Long Beach (forcibly organic, not that they're super into that, but them's the rules...)
Anyway, I don't think I'd ever had beets NOT out of a can before.  It was delicious!  Much milder sweetness than you usually expect but I actually think that made it tastier.  Never cooked beets myself.  M-i-l says tiny bit of water and a whole lot of butter.
On the parsnip topic: LOVE parsnips!  Peel them, slice in half, bake in the oven and put some kosher or sea salt on them.  Ba-da-BING.
