Food, what are you eating?

[Jackalope]

I’ve pretty much eaten eggs and steak since late June. I just got home from a week long hospital visit. Essentially I didn’t eat fro three weeks. I was pretty sure I was gonna die. I came home yesterday weighing 168# and admittedly looked like a POW. Not wanting my mother seeing me that way, I’ve eaten everything I can get my hands on. Especially fruit. A lot of fruit. I’ve also had several meals of rice and chicken and tomorrow I plan to go buy my formerly favorite cookies. When I get back to 180, I’ll clean it back up.

Hate to hear that man, glad to see you out. Christmas tree cakes are still in season.

Hospital food absolutely sucks! Glad to hear you made it back out.

That’s a fact! A lady came around doing a survey on the food. I just said “the fruit is good”. She smiled. She has the worst job in the building.

Had this as side dish along with the garlic bread sticks right after the wedding for guests before seating and meal. Delicious is an understatement.

I made the mashed turnips last night. I misjudged the amount of cream too use. So other than being runny, they were actually very good. I read a few recipes and a common denominator was they were a little bitter. But choosing younger/smaller turnips and actually boiling a russet potato with them, then removing the tater, it pulls a lot of the bitterness out of it.
Had it with some deer chops, and finished it up this evening.
I‘ll definitely be doing this again.

We have been returning them to the pan after cooking and draining on low heat for a while to cook off more moisture. It takes a few minutes, but it made a noticeable difference. Lots O butter, just a smidgen of heavy cream. I do not mind the bitterness at all, but I love parsnips. Nancy hates them.

Yeah, probably should have put them back in the pan as well. They appeared pretty dry when I drained them. They fooled me

Nancy out to dinner and to see a Christmas light thing with her girlfriends from high school. I be bacheloring tonight. Cauliflower crust pizza with extry cheese and all the good pizza meats, and some buffalo wings for an appetizer. Better than I expected. This is the first food I have eaten that was not home cooked since the end of June when Nancy and I went to The Refectory for dinner on our anniversary.

Substituting turnips for potatoes in a roast is amazing. My family all prefer the turnips now.

I'm fixing to make herb roasted turnips tomorrow night to eat with some venison tenderloins. We have to scrounge for turnips in these parts. Common for our Kroger to not have any, but our Kroger has the worst produce on the planet, so it is not a surprise.

Have you ever made French fries out of them?
