Radishes. Parsnips. Virtues.

Radishes dig the Beatles, but parsnips never sing of "Yesterday". [419.a]
Another GAS (Ginsburg American Sentence)! Inspired by Alfred.

Back in the day, many folks in Northern climes survived on root vegetables: neeps and swedes, beets and mangles, daikon and salsify ... carrots. Most have fallen out of favor. In the Katherine Hall Page book I just finished there is a recipe for parsnip puree with lots of butter, heavy cream and a pinch of horseradish.

I do have one shriveled up parsnip in the house (no ... not me ) and can't think of when I last ate one. How about you?

The sun is up and burning me brains!

BLOGVILLE

I'm intrigued by statistics. In a 4 week period of solid bloggin', I received 213 views on 4 Thursdays compared to 124 on 4 Fridays. The other days were all 133-144. So I guess Thursday is the day to write and read!

3 hours: 2, 3 and 5 a.m. WritingST (a.k.a. EST; 7,8,10 GMT) combined didn't have as many views as 9 p.m. If you are blogging at the wee hours of the morning (in America; morning across the Little Pond) this may seem like a lonesome place.
