the misadventure of mr. turnip

the "big white things" in the box this week prompted enough questions to warrant an email to everyone introducing us to mr. turnip.  it's a pleasure to meet you, mr. turnip.  i can't say i'm all that familiar with you.

and, so, mr. turnip sat for a while gazing at me awkwardly every time i walked into the kitchen.  sorry buddy, i'm still not sure what to do with you.  

i could have (and looking back on it, should have) gone with the lightly spicy turnip fries recipe that we were sent.  heard on good authority that these turned out very well.  instead, decided to get fancy... let's spruce mr. turnip up with some spring onions and truffle oil...  

unfortunately, mr. turnip didn't quite make it out of the oven...  i'll spare you the gory details and just say, burning things does not make them taste better.  i think the concept would have worked if i would have paid attention.  so, here's to hoping mr. turnip decides to drop by again in the future...
