there's a Nobel Prize for whoever figures out a way to breed parsnips with a nice uniform size... LOL it's the peeling of those pesky devils that drives me nuts... then go to work on celeric and horseradish...

if summer ever comes, I love to make small foil packets filled with thinly slice yellow squash, zucchinni & onion - add a pat of butter, sprinkle of salt & pepper and fresh dill weed.... place on the back of the grill while the rest is cooking and let it turn into melt in your mouth goodness. It's lunchtime here... can't you tell... :)
