Brook,

My fav Fall/Winter veg trio is blanched parsnips, carrots and turnips tossed with brown butter and parsley. YUM!

I was talking to Cole on the phone the other day and her little one comes and tells her there is a deer in the front yard. Its the middle of the day and the deer is just prancing about their yard. She has like 3 dogs outside who were no where to be seen lol.
Jons uncle said they ate the watermelons along with his roses and all of his wife's flowers. They ate every flower Cole had in her yard. Jons aunt was telling me she had her geen beans by the fence in her garden and they are eating every bit of vine they can reach.
The birds have been dropping apples from Jons Dads trees like crazy. He shot some of them when I was there yesterday.
I really hated to hear the granny smiths had been munched. They are my favorite lol.
We have a nice row of carrots in the garden. I love parsnips. Luckily the garden at Jons bothers is fenced in. They always take their stuff to the farmers markets and sell it. Jons Dad stopped growing corn several years ago because of the deer and birds. Thie year he put out several rows of corn. As soon as it starts to come on the deer will take it.

Not a bad combo, Kevin. I prefer them roasted to blanched, in a pear glaze, a la Mollie Katzen.

But my favorite way of making parsnips starts with a venison loin and a handful of garlic. :p

For $4 at our local store you can get 3-4 soft and bendable parsnips in a bag.
I have to have them when I make white wine vegetable soup. If Im at the store and actually find a fresh pack I make my soup lol.
