TIB’S SEASON OF GIVING 2024: Day 3

I’m not sure what’s in this mystery box full of swag. I mean, I know it’s swag, but I can’t remember any of the items I stuffed into this box while chanting, “This does not spark joy.” It’s a mystery to me. I hope I didn’t stuff anything into it that wasn’t supposed to go into the box. So, if you win this box and there’s a stray USB cable, BONUS!

  1. Vegging today pondering the difference between a rutabaga and a turnip
    And wishing everyone a holiday (Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanzaa) that is beautifully lit up!

  2. Shout out to those of Swedish ancestry who like rutabaga! And to the Brits who go all in on recognizing that by just calling it swede!

  3. Why did the rutabaga start a fight at the farmer’s market?

    Because it was tired of being called “turnip’s ugly cousin.”

  4. My boyfriend brought home a rutabaga for Thanksgiving. I had no idea what to do with it. I never made one or ate one before this year. It ended up going bad before I could get to it. I ended up putting it outside for woodland creatures to chomp on. We have many around here.

  5. Rutabaga is one of those foods you read in like Peter Rabbit as a kid and then rarely hear about again.

    Unless I’m in the minority here…

  6. This year was my first assisting with Christmas dinner. I was in charge of bringing a side, so I decided to roast some potatoes with other vegetables. When I presented the dish to my family, proud of what I had done, my happiness turned to dread when my stepdad recoiled at the first bite! Come to find out… I didn’t roast potatoes. I roasted RUTABAGAS! Better luck next time! Merry Christmas!

    1. My in law proudly roasted zucchini when she first arrived in the USA. Or so she thought. It was cucumber. Not good. Not good at all!

  7. In the garden’s fertile bed,
    Rutabagas rest their heads,
    With golden roots and leafy greens,
    They’re the stars of veggie scenes.

    Bulbous, round, and full of might,
    They’re a farmer’s sweet delight.
    Though often overlooked and small,
    In soups and stews, they stand tall.

    From autumn’s cool and crisp embrace,
    They bring warmth to any place.
    With a taste both sweet and mild,
    Rutabagas are nature’s child.

    Boiled, mashed, or roasted fine,
    They transform meals, they truly shine.
    So here’s to rutabagas grand,
    Nature’s gift, so earthy and bland.

  8. I had to google “rutabaga”. Thank you, I learned something new! Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and here’s to your continuing success in the New Year!

  9. Rutabaga is a funny word and strangely enough, even though it’s a veggie, it’s baked into pies and eaten as a dessert!

  10. Rutabaga is also known as yellow turnip. If you’ve never had it and want to try it out, Bird’s Eye brand sells diced yellow turnips coated in brown sugar in the freezer section in a convenient microwavable package. I believe that I’ve tried it years ago, but I don’t recall if I liked it or not. 

  11. Never had a rutabaga, not sure how willing I am to try it though since it’s said to taste similar to a vegetable I don’t like.
