      Hurray! It’s always a little scary to tell people you just met about “my blog”, and I’m siked you liked it!
      ….For the sake of Forum-ness, I will tell the readers that you were making Lentil Soup, and that’s what the rutabega went into to. But not potatoes, and not winter squash. Potatoes being too bland, and squash being too distinct of a flavor.
      I love lentils.
