My cousin online was telling me how I should give turnips another try. After going on about how great they were he realized he was actually talking about parsnips. ha!

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.
