Farm share, last week

[magid]

Tons of stuff this week

• a third of a pound of salad mix
  
• a pound of long peppers, of various colors
  
• a red cabbage (plus another for late bonus)
  
• a butternut squash
  
• two delicata squash
  
• two pounds of red turnips (plus probably the same again for late bonus)
  
• two pounds of orange carrots (plus an extra handful)
  
• two pounds of watermelon radish (= 2; one was well over a pound)
  
• three pounds of potatoes (I chose mostly smallish ones)
  
• three leeks
  
• a third of a pound of mixed mushrooms (shiitake, king oyster, and some undergrown regular oyster)

I think I could make a pretty awesome root veg soup. Also fridge radish and turnip pickles (other turnip ideas welcome; I already know about roasting). And a batch of sauerkraut.

There's a bunch of recipes that use turnips like potatoes. I'm not fond of them, not because they're not tasty, but because my brain keeps expecting potato (and their starchiness level), which turnips aren't. Mismatch of expectation, even knowing what's in it, for some reason.
