my mom used to peel and boil them and then mash them with margarine and soy milk. really tasty.

[supercarrot]

hmm. that gives me an idea.

can you describe the taste to me (just so my secret idea doesn't turn out bad before i have a chance to make it)

[timbrel]

you can eat them raw, that would give you an idea.

[supercarrot]

oh, i didn't know if the flavor changed with cooking.

[plaidisyourpal]

aren't you getting married soon?!

[supercarrot]

yip!
(hence the having to use all the produce up in the house before the 2-week vacation[honeymoon])

wheeee!!!!

Oct. 29th! How do I get a hold of you if you win the cook off?! Just kidding. Have fun. I should get married so I can go on a two week vacation...hmm...maybe I'll bring that up tonight.

Breaded tofu with cajun spices and boiled chard.

[webtar]

Prepared yellow mustard, or whatever else you like...

[supercarrot]

[supercarrot]

Rutabaga is really good when roasted with olive oil, maple syrup, salt and pepper. I mixed it with potatoes (white and sweet), shallots, carrots, turnips and onions for a "root veggie roast" and couldn't really tell the difference between it and the turnip when prepared that way. Which may be a plus or a minus, depending on how brave you are to taste its non-mapley flavor :)
