party favors

I took the kids out to the country for the traditional Havisham family Thanksgiving extravaganza.  Laundry — literal and figurative — was hung out to dry; squirrels were eaten; produce was plundered from our cousins’ garden down the road.

We came home with four sacks of food:

A refrigerated ready-made pie crust, three pounds of granulated sugar, almost a pound of light brown sugar, five pounds of red potatoes, a pound of angel hair pasta, a box of au gratin potatoes, a partial box of Townhouse crackers, the remnants of a loaf of garlic parmesan French bread, five bananas, two rolls, a bottle of dill relish, two pounds of butter, one small canister of chicken base, half a pound of celery hearts, two ounces of olive oil, two pounds of clementines, two pounds of grated sharp cheddar cheese, one jar of grape jelly, half a jar of strawberry preserves, half an onion, one jar of Italian seasoning, fourteen eggs, one pound of Blue & Gold sausage…

and nineteen turnips.

Anybody got any good turnip recipes?
