turnips are really delicious, y'all. I just roasted them with some beets and ate it all.

Radishes can burn in hell.

I got some really weird looking thing that smells like licorice in my CSA this week. Any ideas what that is and what to do with it?

sTRANGE LOOKING veggie that smells like licorice.... Possibly Fennel

Added to soups and stews.... or sliced very thin and tossed in salad.... Very mild flavor just adds crunch and aeromatics to salads.

I just made bone stock for the first time.... Bout three turkey backs a chicken carcass and some trimmings from pork ribs. Mostly cartilage rib ends and connective tissue.

Bout a whole huge onion couple of celery stalks diced fine.... and a whole bulb of Garlic split in half skins and all.

The smell was driving me nutzo this morning... after 24 hours of simmering. So the intention was to pick out the bones... but many of the bones disappeared As all the veggies and onions and garlic... Only a few of the dried skins were left.... I strained it all in a Collender. And came up with a woppin.... two cups of broth...

I tasted it.... OMG concentrated.... I divided it and placed equal amounts in quart jars and added water to it... The flavor is awesome... Now I can use it in stews and soups and even stir fry.

By the way the bones and all the left over bits would be excellent chicken fodder... I wanted to feed it to the dog... but I couldnt pick the bones out.... I think next time I will place the bones in cheese cloth

and No I didnt use vinegar... didnt think aboutit.
