New taste sensation

[ksmith]

Parsnips, peeled and diced and cooked with white potatoes and a couple of cloves of garlic. And thyme. Salt & pepper. Drained, then mashed with butter and half-and-half. Served with the homemade cranberry-orange sauce and the pork loin chops wrapped in bacon and rubbed with rosemary.

I was pleased. And I may never eat mashed white potatoes by themselves again.

Hope everyone else ate well.

I always thought that parsnips would taste starchy, but as soon as I heard that they tasted like carrots, I got some.

I was going to get some more, but couldn't find them. So I bought turnips instead. Another veg I've never had before. Next shopping trip--celery root.
