And moose face!  Hopefully you will sell 2 houses, and so build up a
reserve.  I see in our financial reports that house prices here have
been continuing to increase at about the same rate that they have been
falling in USA. What are they doing in Canukstan?

 JW> Ruth, who is Dutch Farmer Bill's wife, gave me three tips on

 JW> 
 JW> -1- buy large ones not small ones as they are sweeter and less

 JW> -2- soak them in water with a little salt and sugar to reduce the
 JW> bitterness.

 JW> -3- season them heavily with black pepper and garlic powder  or
 JW> black pepper and nutmeg but never garlic and nutmeg at the same
 JW> time.

_Now_ you tell me!  I tried cooking turnips for the first time, to
have with Kevin's hare, but just roasted them in the oven with the
other vegetables.  After cooking, I found the skin a bit tough, so
peeled them.  I have one left, so will try the above method.  Always
prepared to learn!  BTW, do you know what a "Dutch Wife" is?  (Answer
at the end of this post.)

And also Farmer Bill.
