LOL, Eileen. I confess that I was picturing Marie as a cartoon cannibal boiling Swedes in a giant cauldron. What are swedes (lowercase), anyway? We Americans either don't eat them or call them by some other name (just as we eat eggplant, not aubergine).

Let me butt in with my gardening knowledge -

They're *Swede Turnips,* aka *rutabagas,* (not the smaller Summer Turnips).



LOL, that was funny, Eileen!
