Turnip The Heat!
In our quest to grow our own food, we’ve come to realize that we really haven’t tried a whole lot of the things we can grow.
Recently we went to a neighbor’s house and they started talking about what they were growing and harvesting. We looked at each other like they were talking in another language.
Turnips? Mustard greens? Beets?
We hadn’t tried any of those.
So then I was watching one of the channels on Youtube that I follow, and they were talking about kohlrabi.
What?
When the neighbors found out we had no idea what any of those taste like, they took it upon themselves to share their bounty with us.
Now I have a sink full of turnips and mustard greens.
I have to use them, right? I don’t want to waste them.
At the same time, I’ve never cooked them, and never even heard anything about them so it’s a little daunting even trying it out.
We’re going to do it though. In a world full of viruses and uncertainty, we are not going to back away from free food. You can’t be scared of it, right? We have enough to try several different recipes, so if we don’t like the first batch, we can try again a different way.
