I love rutabagas! Next time take your rutabagas, peel and chop them into bite size pieces, put them in a pot and cover with water. Sprinkle 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp sugar in the pot and boil until they are soft. Drain the water and mash the rutabagas with 3-4 Tbsp butter. They are similar to mashed potatoes but are tangy and zippy. Great with pork or chicken!

S – nothing could be more impressive than the Miner annual show of lights. :)

T – You could be on to something. PB&R might not be half bad!

P- I think it’s so interesting how different veggies got their names, and how they’re called different names in different places. I also learned that they’re called “neeps” in Scottland.

Now I understand why rutabagas in England are called “swedes”.

Those look like french fries, which if they taste as good would add them to my list of everyday foods. The light show is impressive, similar to the Miner annual celebration of lights (perhaps a bit more tasteful).
