Caterina just got high on a sweet crisp raw turnip

she is demo cooking at the opening tomorrow of the local farmers market

she was asked to focus on arugula, asian greens, and sweet turnips

shoppers admire these three / they vibrate from their baskets in the booth

many folks doan know what to do with arugula, asian greens, and most of all

shy away from the sound of the word TurNip

uh no

turns out there are more than 300 recipes for arugula, mostly variations on the salad theme, at epicurious.com

turnips came in last

two bunches of incredibly beautiful small creamy white turnips are delivered / the greens are tall and leafy and darn greeny and freshly dampened

she puts the two bunches on the counter / one bunch neatly tied has six perfect small turnips about the size bigger than a golf ball and smaller than a tennis ball / creamy white and perfectly formed / they looked like a picture of a perfect Pin Up TurnIP

she begins to stew in her own juice / how can she chop the tops off and boil up these babies / just like that / just cuz i googled Sweet Turnips

big sigh

to be cont,, , , ,,,, , ,,,
