I looked online and found what may be a tastee recipe for turnips, very similar to mashed potatoes. I also remember I had raw turnips at a NC restaurant that had been marinated in garlic, vinegar and a hint of sugar. As I seem to have...hmmm...about six of them (large), I must find a use. :roll: obviously counting will have to be taught to an unnamed individual in my abode. :lol: :shock:
Do you ever roast your turnips? That NC restaurant recipe "might" t***slate into a roasted version, using the other ingredients. You're making me really hungry. I have a taste in my mouth for something that beckons to my roots. Unfortunately, a trip to the store is still out of the question, even with the rapidly rising temps. Tomorrow. Tonight's repast will include a nice steak, seasoned with garlic and spices and smothered in mushrooms, baby carrots and peas, maybe some spinach pasta (compliments of the Amish) in a light alfredo sauce, and some fluffy Amish rolls. I wasn't foresighted enough to think about dessert in the crush of panic at the store right before the storm. I'm out of cream, so a nice chocolaty, whipped cream confection is out of the question. Have chocolate, no cream. Sigh. Tomorrow, dessert.

Until the large quantity I currently have, I only used them in my vegetable soup. My great aunt was very fond of them and had them steamed with a hint of butter. The recipe I found calls for milk, butter, chives and grated parmesan. You can add crumbled bacon, as well.

Butter, chives, cheese, crumbled bacon -- sounds tasty. I might have a friend who still has some turnips. Might try that recipe. My mother always waited until after first frost and mixed sliced pieces of turnips in with the greens and some fatback for a little extra flavor. She used a little of sugar as well. I like the spicier turnips in the can that you can get in the store -- but they don't like me.

Weather update. Are you currently getting more snow? UncleE told me we may get more tonight.

No, but it has rapidly clouded up. We may get a "surprise" this evening. Even with all the "warmth" today, we still have lots of snow on the ground. If I don't get a chance to say it later -- Happy Valentines Day!!

And to you.
I agree about the clouding up. Across the river in Chantilly it was 51 today; however, this side of the river we only reached, here, about 42. I have figured out one of our newer neighbors must be an"essential worker". Our little enclave of two blocks was gone through three times. We are usually last. I am wondering if we will ever see trash pickup.
