If you had a super-big rutabaga I wonder if you could freeze half the mash? Hmm.

@little_melly wow, those are some big turnips! My rutabaga was about the size of one russet potato. I'd say a ratio of 1 rutabaga : 2 potatoes is decent providing they are the same size.

@xieta that sounds delicious!

Azusa, thanks for the new recipe ideas!

nyorange: thanks, now I want a kimchi fridge :)

@fab those would be great in many chestnut recipes - with rice, stewed, in stuffings, pureed ...

@lnwn, there are not buckeyes. They look similar, but you can't eat buckeyes. @Oneisco, wow! Yes, you can't eat horse chestnuts (also called buckeyes) - they cause stomach irritation...

Update! Jean's pear and chocolate scone recipe has been added to this post.

bfisk: well, it does add to the flavor, but if you dislike it, omit it and see how it tastes.

@k_darling doh! Fixed, thanks.

Washing dishes was my household chore when I was a teenager, and I worked in restaurants in my late teens/20's. I never wore dishwashing gloves for about 20 years, and now I have irreparable damag...

@sandrita thanks for the correction on "siling labuyo." @ajanhelendam - where do you live? I've seen taro leaves and sweet potato leaves at the Manila Oriental Market in San Francisco.

@sandrita, thanks so much for your input. I'll try the green tomato trick next time!

@LizWong, I did my best, the ones photographed are the greens I was able to find. Sorry I couldn't do more. We can't always use pictures on the internet that don't belong to us due to...

@geckotoes1, well, the kangkong (water spinach) has pointy leaves and hollow stems. Could that be it? It's called "ong choy" in Chinese.
