(p.s. Any suggestions for making turnips less bland?)

Garlic and Parmesan cheese.
I don't know anything about turnips, but garlic and parmesan make anything delicious.

Ooh, this is true. Thanks!

No idea on the fennel, but for turnips, my grandma usually mashes them up with potatoes and I believe adds a lot of butter and a splash of apple juice. It ends up tasting good, but I'm not sure exactly how she does it - if you'd like a recipe, I can get it for you.

oooh, that sounds good! I think I'll mess about without a recipe, but I'll let you know if I want the recipe. :)

from the title, I assumed fennel was a character in some book or TV show, that you wanted to find fic about.

[hedgerose]

That was the point. :) You should come up for dinner at some point! I could even come and nab you from SC.

[banjomensch]

oh good! I'd like that.

I want you to teach me some tunes sometime, too.

[hedgerose]

I can do that, too. :)

this is one of my favorite recipes; the fennel is the most interesting part. sometimes i use mushrooms instead of zucchini, and i sometimes leave out the almond. but it's the only thing i make with fennel and it is gooooood.

Omg, I love you. And thanks for the mushrooms/zucchini substitution, as I hatehatehate zucchini.
