    Grannymar,

    You know full well that I don’t like parsnips, yet you continue to print recipes that include them. And a recipe for 4 servings! Where the heck am I going to find 4 people who will swallow a parsnip?

    Well, actually I only need three now that I am reading Wisewebwoman’s comment. Do I hear three more
    volunteers who will eat dinner with me if I serve this dish? Speak up now and I will start peeling and roasting and have it ready for your arrivals at 6 P.M.
    EDT…..

    I need to hear from 3 more people before I will commit to making this meal.

    WWW – Long gone are the days when carrots and parsnips were served only mashed together!

    Nancy – I am on my way and will eat your share of parsnips as well as my own. I LUV Parsnips!

    George – I have used orange & grated ginger with carrots in the past. The fennel seeds are my favourite this week so tried adding them with the orange juice. nom nom!
