Carrots & Parsnips Go Together like Rosemary & Thyme

As a matter of fact grab a pound of each.
Slice in half,  with ancient parsnips use a meat slicer.
Throw them on a cookie tray.  Sprinkle them with olive oil, rosemary and thyme.  Roast them in a 350 degree oven until they smell ready.   Alternate, throw them in a roasting dish.   My sister Donna bought us the

Found this wonderful article about Parsnip, Lovage and Hogweed- In fact they are related!.. and to Celery, Carrot and Parsley, too.   Like one of my family reunions....
