And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Parsnip Paradise
Drug these bad boys out of the garden just now. Clearly, the parsnip boys have been thriving all winter tucked in to the deep, delicious soil.
Rusty the dog is wondering what's so great about them.
Peel and slice them and cut them in largish pieces, Sauté them in a good amount of butter and add a pinch of nutmeg. Throw in a 375 degree oven until tender. S&P to taste. Add a small handful of chopped fresh parsley and mix it all together. Sometimes I substitute beef fat for some of the butter. Zin. Fan. Del. or a German/Wash Riesling. Very dry, flowery, spicy with a spine of river gravel or slate, and tropical citrus.
Maybe Rusty is afraid you're going to try making him a vegetarian.
ReplyDeleteMix them up with his steak.
