Oh yes and in my case it will be in a spice basket cart as I just ordered spices from My Spice Sage as they have their Mother's Day sale (and I would highly recommend Googling coupons if you know what I mean).

I can't wait to get my espresso powder and of course my beloved Garlic Powder!  

---

@momtochloe

What do you use the espresso powder for since you typically don't bake?

I have only used mine in chocolate cakes.....

@mustang66lady

That was me that asked about going up the Arch.

Now that I have seen that pod...I can cross that adventure OFF my bucket list!!

LOL

The only experience I had going 'up' was in the gondola (sp?) going up @Honeybit 's Stone Mountain in GA when I was a kid.

Someone accidently shut off the power mid way.  The forward motion caused that thing to swing back and forth several times throwing us all to the floor....sliding back and forth....back and forth....

By time they restarted the thing...it was one frantic crying bunch of ppl!  I remember a guy from VT in uniform...crying..."I survived 3 yrs. in Nam and now I am going to die in this thing???"  Sadly ....once it started again...it continued UP!  Now we are all at the top of the mountain trying to figure out how to get back down without going in the gondola!!

Needless to say...I don't go up very often!

Turnips are more toward the raddish side of the house, they have a bit of a spicy/bitter bite to them.

@RespectLife

I normally just use turnips cubed up in SOUP, then they just end up tasting like SOUP like everything else.

I have made them like potatoes though, boiled & mashed with butter, salt & pepper.

They are good unless you get one of those big, old honkers - they usually end up bitter.

Hey, just like a man huh??? LOL!!!

@ChiliPepper

Major LOL...good one!

@ChiliPepper

@VaBelle35

Thanks...I don't particular embrace radishes (tee hee, very PC description for BLECH)

I think I will pass on the turnip...but definitely going to try parsnips!

I am pretty sure I have seen them at Wegman's.

@momtochloe

Thanks!  I must have missed that one.

Very interesting!  Making a veggie sauce?!!

What does a parsnip taste like?

---

@momtochloe

@RespectLife

To me, they taste like a cross between a potato, a carrot & a sweet potato.

Like those 3 vegies been doin' the nasty LOL!!!

---

Really?  I like all three of those!  Now this sounds like something I would like!

Now, you guys ain't joshing me are ya?

They don't taste like avocados, do they?

I don't know why I thought they were oniony.  Is that turnips?

---

Dear Kitchenettes,

     I have found that parsnips taste like a sweeter version of a carrot.  I really like that sweeter flavor in a savory beef stew.  It is a perfect balance.

     I try to get smaller parsnips whenever possible because they get "woodier" the larger the parsnip.

     If you have ever had Duchess Potatoes (mashed potatoes baked in a dish with any or all of the following sprinkled on top:  ground nuts, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, butter), you could subsitute some parsnips for some of the potatoes in the mashed potato mixture.  I have also done a mix with carrots, parsips, and rutabagas instead of potatoes (to cut down on the carbs). 

     If you are trying to do a lower glycemic  thing, I have found that parsnips impact my blood sugar more than carrots do.  That may just be me, though.

I agree @Writer with Flair they are good especially roasted.  I hope I can find one to pop into that beef dish tomorrow!

I'm going to take a run at a version of tiramisu I found a while ago but couldn't find the espresso powder for the price I wanted to pay.  I love tiramasu so we'll see how I do . . .

Respect,

Here is the recipe that Mama Carol posted, stating it was Lisa Robertson's recipe.  I don't know that I ever saw it posted by her not-for sure I didn't copy it from anything she posted, but Mama Carol is another of those that long ago posted quite often.  I have made this recipe several times and always get great reviews!

Oh @mustang66lady this brings back memories . . . I remember when this first aired on QVC during the Christmas holidays.  My mom wanted the recipe but was more upset that they were making fun of Lisa and her baking to the point I had to send her a message of support from my mom.  We received the loveliest reply back and I have been a fan ever since (not sure if we ever made the bread though) . . .
