I always get the words "Tulip", "Tulpa", and "Turnip" mixed up.

I wonder if some posts without puns will turnip soon...

No puns will be the product of my two lips.

When I was little, I ate a piece of raw turnip because I didn't know any better.

It wasn't terrible, just...bland.

Turnips are okay, but I like rutabagas better.

I know I've told this story before, but here goes: A few Christmas Eves ago, I was chatting with two other tenors between services and mentioned that among the other things I had to do the next day in preparation for Christmas dinner was to mash rutabagas. They both looked at me and asked "what did you just say?". I never realized how much "mash rutabagas" would sound like...something else.

I am going to attempt to make Victorian food this year during the holidays. The first dish I will attempt to make will be plum pudding.

Mmm, plum pudding.

I likewise have to polish my shrimp gambas, beef taco and cream of squash recipes for the inevitable family dinners. But we don't have Thanksgiving, just Christmas.

I always host Thanksgiving dinner at my place. Last year, we tried having it the day after so folks who wanted to join us, but had family commitments could attend. It worked well. We'll do it again this year.

Sounds awesome, Rocky. That wouldn't work so well for Christmas season here, because families usually take the opportunity to go out of town for the holidays.

I'm not sure what vegetable I'll make. Parsnips worked well. Maybe it will be parsnips again.

I've never tried cooking parsnips before. I don't think I've tasted them more than once or twice either.

The only "autumn" vegetable I can remember cooking is squash.

I expect those veggies are hard to come by in your neck of the woods, Ibby. I may roast beets again. They were also a great success.

Yes, they are. So are limes, which is sad because I love making Mexican food. Thankfully, some specialty stores that specialize in imported goods carry lots of them. Using our Philippine lime isn't quite the same

Beets! More veggies which I haven't tried more than a couple of times

Fresh beets are delicious, but the effect they have on one's digestive system is comical, if you're not prepared for it. At least once, I've thought I was bleeding. Yes, I just made a poop joke.

Egads! Penguin poop.

Hey, beets will turn anyone's red.

Is there anything else that beets turn red?

It has a similar effect on what comes out on the front side.

Oh dear. Beets and bodily fluids sure don't go together.

The lovely cocktail of painkillers, anti-inflamatory meds and anibiotics I'm taking has turned mine green

My daily vitamin pack turns mine neon yellow.

Legion World. Peeing a rainbow.

I had a house guest once whose medication turned her pee orange. The toilet looked like it was filled with Tang.

Now we just need blue and violet.

I won't look at Tang the same way again...

I'm actually surprised they still make it. It was big when I was very young as "The drink the astronauts took to the moon" or some such.

It's known here mostly for the orange flavor powder, but I think there are tons of other flavors too right?
