Karo- lima beans, rutabagas and turnips

[Guest guest]

Lima beans kind of have a mealy texture, I think that's why some people

don't like them. They don't bother me. Now, to ME, broccoli tastes awful --

so bitter!

Donna,

We indeed are Kindred Spirits. I love mashed potatoes w/everything. A favorite

is adding cooked carrots and turnips for a wonderful Veggie Mash. Sometimes I

fix a gravy the old fashioned way with browned flour in butter and add the

liquid from the boiled veggies. Of course my favorite seasoning for the gravy is

Basil . Then just to be *fancy* (smile) I garnish with fresh Parsley that I grow

year round. When I use the word " fancy " it is a joke because I was raised on "

plain ole country food " as mama says,and there was no such thing as a *garnish*.

My mother says that she never used herbs or spices when cooking. Our meals came

from a can or fresh caught. Now you know why I am a Vegetarian. LOL

By the way my Parsley,Mesclun,Mustard,and other herbs are coming along

beautifully. I won't brag about the *M* herb because I know how you feel about

that one.

May your day be filled with sunshine, happiness and good health

Being Swedish, I grew up on rutabagas and turnips.

Have you tried them diced into soups or mashed into mashed potatoes?
