I made vegetable soup today. It was tasty, with all sorts of yummy things like pasta and beans and potatoes and mushrooms and leeks and whatnot. I have decided, however, that making it is a two-person job. It involves a *lot* of peeling and chopping. Luckily, however, I managed to accomplish it all without losing any digits. I also learned that rutabegas are very hard to chop. Peeling them's fine, but damn it's hard to get a knife into them. They're incredibly dense.

Rutabegas are interesting, taste-wise. My parents think they taste like a cross between a carrot and a squash. I think they have more of a broccoli-like flavor.
