    I’m loving this citrus love ❤️ 💕 I peel and eat all my citrus in segments like a clementine or tangerine unless I’m cooking with it. Also love candying citrus peel- especially lemon, lime, and grapefruit - SUCH a treat!!!!

    @MinTheKitCat - you just reminded me of a wonderful memory! - Walking next to the Château Royal d’Amboise- came across a little pâtisserie with the most beautiful citrus confections! I wanted to dive right into this bowl of candied clementines! I took this 2 years ago....

    Wow. That comes 60 euro per kilo or for American it would be 90 dollars per pound.

    A regular clementine IME is about 45 g, so 6 E for 100 grams (or about 3 E or less for one or like $7 for 2) which seems nuts but they are super pretty and maybe super tasty (haven't tried the candied ones), and I personally see no objection to high cal, sugary, luxury items being expensive.

    🍊 I think the reason whole glacés are more expensive is because they take 2 weeks or more of intermittent boiling and saturating to cure. (Fresher glacé are heavier and more dense.) liquid sugar bombs!

    My $.02 .... ps ... I’ve had this photo on my camera for over a year and I never really paid attn to the price. 😬 But these aren’t the most expensive ones Ive seen either. That said ... maybe a glacé factory is good business! @MinTheKitCat 😉😉😉

    What is your favourite thing to do with parsnips? Hubby came back with a large bag on sale. I normally roast with olive oil when I am doing a classic roast dinner or cote de boef but need some other meal and prep ideas to use them up.

    Baked Rosemary parsnip fries are amazing!!
    I’m also a sucker for a nice mash. NYT cooking has a lot of nice recipes for parsnip soup, latke, gratings, and even one or two desserts. (The parsnip sheet cake with cream cheese icing is delicious!)

    Hey @acpgee !

    I recently tried these parsnip recipes and they were tasty!

    Roasted parsnip soup-

    root vegetable tarte tatin
    (I did a flax crust and only used parsnips, rutabega, carrots and yam)

    Those are more interesting than me. I like to just roast parsnips with other root vegetables, tossed in olive oil with some salt and pepper. I also like them in stew.

    It is so lovely! Like a very mild spice cake with just the tiny whisper of crunch. It also freezes like a dream

    I’m gonna have to check out the parsnip soup with walnut pesto - that sounds right up my alley, lol

    Made a mixed mushroom ‘tart’, (I would call galette) which was much easier than I expected and I got to have THIS moment of a glorious pile of mushrooms on my counter which made me so happy and excited to eat them 😋

    I wanted to share my mushroom pics, they're golden oyster mushrooms, home grown from the kit. I had quite a few flushes, it was fun to watch them grow. Unbelievably fast, from hour to hour... Took me a while to figure out that i liked them grilled the best. ascdb81fy6wk.jpg

    Hey... nice shrooms ya got there ☺️☺️
