Weekly Food Challenge

 I went about the turnip challenge in the terribly imaginative way of Googling for turnip recipes, and came across this little recipe for turnips cooked with the green parts. Then off I went to the supermarket, where I discovered that supermarket turnips don't come with green parts. No worries, though! There's spinach in the fridge that needs eating.

And instead of six medium turnips, I bought four medium turnips and one big one:

(Sadly not an Enormous Turnip, but you do what you can.)

What I did:

 - Sauteed the onion with dried sage, then realised that I needed to do way more prep and had sauteed too early, so I stuck it on a low heat.
 - discovered that one peels turnips, and that either they're really easy to peel or we have the greatest vegetable peeler in the world.
 - ended up using the big turnip and two little turnips, without changing any of the other proportions, leading me to believe that they were in fact Big turnips and Medium turnips are in fact quite small. So I did have an enormous turnip after all.
 - put the water on to blanche the middle aged spinach a little too late so everything went on hold.
 - possibly burned some turnip.
 - Sauteed the turnips and the apple with the sage&onion and apple juice/vinegar/spinach water quite nicely after the possible burning.
 - mixed it all together and served!

Verdict:
Meh.
As the roommate said: "The problem is, you used turnips, and turnips aren't very tasty."
In hindsight, more seasoning may be the way to go. I'm a terrible undercondimenter.

And to top it all off, my attempt at ice cream for dessert is also failing :(
