LOved your descriptions of favorite smells and it reminded me of what I think is probably my very favorite smell and it's sort of the same thing but in two different stages - bread rising and then fresh bread baking or just out of the oven, inviting me to grab a stick of REAL butter and slather it all over a slice of piping hot bread! I miss the stick smell that used to permeate this old house for a couple weeks prior to Christmas when my Grandmother would set her dried salt codfish to soak for the Lutfisk supper we would have Christmas Eve. (Loved the meal but the smell beforehand could be prett bad at times.)<BR/>Finally though -I always thought turnips were those veggies as you have pictured but rutabagas were or are a whitish colored veggie resembling a carrot but with a distinctly different flavor. Never heard of them being one and the same thing.Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-1616397301047259622008-03-24T20:56:00.000-04:002008-03-24T20:56:00.000-04:00Oh man!
