Sone thing will turn up...

It was gray, windy and snowing Monday morning. But the sun had come out by the time the nurse came over to change my dressing at noon.

I took a long nap in the afternoon. So much for training to go back to work.

I decided to cook up the turnips Joe and Kathy had left me. I must admit, I’ve eaten raw turnips back when I worked on the truck farm (they taste a little like apples). But I never cooked them.

So, I peeled them (not easy) and cut them into chunks. I boiled them, changing the water once (that’s supposed to keep them from tasting bitter) until they were fork tender. I drained them good and mashed them with a little butter.

But, they kept giving off excess water. WTF? By the time I plated them, the entire plate was wet (again!) Does anybody know what I did wrong or should have done?

I ate them with some brats and hot mustard. I watched the 11:00 PM news and then went to bed.
