PS i am all about the courtesy flush.

i cannot stop giggling at this. is that a bad sign?

here's one from jamie oliver: sautéd jerusalem artichokes with garlic and bay leaves Jerusalem artichokes are sweet and almost garlicky and mushroomy and gorgeous. Although called artichokes they’re actually tubers – like rough and ready potatoes. You can scrub and roast them whole like mini jacket potatoes and split them open, drizzled with a little chilli oil. You can even use them in a salad with smoky bacon. A Jerusalem artichoke’s best friends are sage, thyme, butter, bacon, bay, cream, breadcrumbs, cheese and anything smoked. To serve 4, you will need 600g/1lb 6oz of Jerusalem artichokes. Peel them, then cut them into chunks. Place them in an oiled frying pan and fry on a medium heat until golden on both sides, then add a few bay leaves, 2 cloves of garlic, finely sliced, a splash of white wine vinegar, some salt and pepper, and place a lid on top. After about 20 to 25 minutes they will have softened up nicely and you can remove the lid and the bay leaves. Continue cooking for a couple of minutes to crisp the artichoke slices up one last time, then serve straight away. Personally, I think they go well with both meat and fish and are particularly good in a plate of antipasti, or in soups or warm salads.

apparently they are not from jerusalem, nor are they an artichoke. discuss.

that's crazy. i just posted this Q in the bryson farms thread! ha.

what are you going to do with the jerusalem artichokes? i am looking for a recipe..

i was listening to a study about this and they said the same -- handsfree phones are equally dangerous. i was surprised by that. i know [and d_rawk will attest] that i am NOT a safe driver when talking on my cell. now i keep it put away!

sweet potato soup = deeeeeleeeeshis. - 3 sweet potatoes and one red potato - half inch dice - coat in melted butter - roast in 400 degree oven 15 mins - stir around, put in for another approx 15 mins - might want to throw some garlic cloves in to roast too! *in the meantime* - sautee 2 cups chopped leeks & 2/3 cup chopped celery in a heavy soup pot for 4 minutes or so - after the potatos are roasted, add to soup pot - cook a few minutes - add 6 cups chicken broth - bring to almost boil then simmer 20 mins - stick immersion blender in there til it's nice and thick! EAT! i also threw in some sprouts since we're overloaded. it was SO tasty.
