WHITE TURNIPS

 As a rule, I have never ever been a big fan of turnips, but walked into Wegmans last night, at first thinking these were the coolest beets ever, only to see that they were local white turnips -
Kept on walking, going with my list/menu Brussels Sprouts with whole grain mustard and cream - but these just kept calling me back.....

 Made a couple of pumpkin pies!

Getting the jump on the season, one is by the book, the other chock full of three gingers. I forgot to mark which one was which ( the ginger was MUCH better the recipe on the back of the can of pumpkin is too sweet...)
