[Ag-eq] Turnips

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Nella.
When I roasted one of my turnips, it seemed to intensify the earthy,
slightly bitter  quality. Maybe it was because my turnip was a bit old.  But
raw, it was tender and tasty.  Roasted, not so much.  What do you think
about that?

We've had another frost, which finally killed the impatiens on my front
porch.  Still, flowers until nearly Thanksgiving is great!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
Tracy

Tracy:

I love both turnips and kale.  I like to roast turnips and most other root
vegetables.  I also like to put raw turnip in salad.

I'm down to chives and am putting them in everything.
