Generally I avoid parsnips - this morning I decided to give parsnips another try - there were so many at the Farmers Market and they looked fun. Pictured is a parsnip spice cake - tiz yummy. Also - it is very amusing to create handlebar mustaches with them!
I slept for two hours on the couch today under two wool blankets - it made me in the mood for baking - thus the cake and two loaves of bread - a very relaxing afternoon of warm blankets and cool rain.
Parsnip Cake recipe based on one from Down To Earth

1/2 cup grated parsnips (w/micro plane)
1 tsp grated ginger

that's a good recipe to have on hand- thanks Tab. I've got some parsnips in my garden I'll dig up sometime before the ground freezes through. And parsley root.
When you dig up the parsley root - you should make the recipe in Savory Way with lentils, parsley root and walnuts - most excellent!
