Yeah, everyone said the turnips tasted like cauliflower, which was a
good thing, I think.

funny about the pickled onions! I like those in martinis! (Gibsons, I
guess, not martinis when the onion goes inthere)

I made creamed onions yesterday! I thought it was kind of strange that
the pearl, boiling onions were purple like little Bermuda onions. The
little purple onions looked kind of odd in the cream sauce.

What a pain to peel those little onions. I gave up after one bag.
Forget about it, I said to myself.
