Wax, huh? Suddenly they don't sound appetizing anymore. And I don't know if that dish water would help it or hurt it! Still curious though . . .

To top it all off, son knocked it into the dirty dish water. Fortunately it is encased in wax as turnips sometimes are.

Re: Re: Re:
Wow, TAPS, very bold of you! Hey, it may just turn out to be one of the tastiest things you've ever eaten! Who knows? And I don't think I've ever eaten too many turnips in my life either, so I'm very curious as to the taste! Let us all know . . .

Re: Re:
I bought one today. The check-out person couldn't find a tag on it so said, "What's this?"
"Rutabaga."
"What's that?"
"Cousin to a turnip."
"How do you know?"
"I googled it."
"What's it taste like?"
"I don't know. I've never bought one before."
The sacker said, "How do you know you are going to like it?"
"I don't. I'll try just about anything once."
If it's good, I'll share the recipe.

Re:
Actually, TAPS, I enjoy saying it, or writing it, because it is a funny-sounding word! Hard to believe it's really a vegetable! And I don't think I've ever actually seen one! Not yet anyway . . .

Re: Jimmy
I thought they did too, Naut, until I read that the sidewalk under that wall was extremely hot that day. Hot enough to . . . um . . . fry an egg! And apparently, all the King's men were actually required to carry on their person at all times the various ingredients found in a typical omelette. We're not sure why yet, but I'll check into it and get back to you . . .

Re: Hmmm
Really, Jeff? I wouldn't think that a hospital would be on anybody's list of places to find a decent omelette! Are you sure they used eggs . . . ?

See, FSI? Many of those 'fairy tales' are actually incomplete! And you wouldn't believe what really happened to Little Red Riding Hood . . .

Re:
Why, C C T, you ol' sweet talker you! Charm won't get you far when it comes to the topic of dung! And I do know of what you speak of concerning that critter who has coffee made from the digested berries found in his, er, excrement! And all I can say is . . . not on a bet! 
And I've never bitten a girl, except, of course, in self-defense . . .

Well, I googled rutabaga and the roasted ones don't look too bad. Maybe I'll give it a try if I see some at the mart.

I don't think I have ever cooked, or eaten a rutabaga. I think perhaps that's just fine. I don't even like saying it.

Okay, so Humpty Dumpty had this big fall - but he became an omelette? I mean, I never heard he'd fallen into a pan that was sitting on top a a stove, or at least a fire! And even if that had been the case - someone would have had to be there and stir! And what kind of lousy omelette would it have been anyway? No ham, no mushrooms, no sweet, slightly browned onion (which would have to have been done ahead of time!), no parsley, no salt, no pepper - I don't belive it! I think someone made this up...

Hmmm
Now you're making me want an omlette.
Believe it or not some of the best omlettes I've had were in the psych ward of the hospital

(They must have been hungry) I love dung if it comes from a horse or an elephant. I could talk ding dong all day about dung. Not partial to cow dung unless it has dried and suitable for using as Frisbees. You know more about it than me but isn't there a drink called special coffee made out of some kind of ding dong from a kind of ferret type critter. If life hands you lemons you can be pretty sure you won't get any sugar let alone spice. You won't get any either if you bite bite a girl. But with your charm, who knows.
