A Cooking Thread?

So this past weekend was Canadian Thanksgiving and I thought I'd share my absolute favourite family recipe. It's really not difficult and it's freaking delicious. We call it smash. I don't know, it's been a staple at Thanksgiving and Christmas since...always.
1 medium turnip
5-7 large carrots
4 tbsp butter
Salt/Pepper to taste
Just cube the vegetables and boil. When they're cooked, mash them together with the butter, salt and pepper. It's a really tasty, brightly coloured dish that looks great and goes perfectly with turkey and potatoes!

You can add swede as well. It is particularly good when eaten in a friend's Scottish castle alongside haggis, with a good whisky on the side.

Mmm, the time honored tradition of mashing roots into a delicious substance that is granpa's dentures friendly. I've recently found a love for sweet potatoes myself, and they're really easy to mash, you don't even have to boil them, just pan-fry/steam em for long enough until they're soft, with the salt/pepper/butter thingy, and they are good to go.
gospel:
I'm sort of surprised any grocery wouldn't know what buttermilk is. And, yes, you can simply put lemon juice or vinegar in 2% milk and let it fester for 15m.
I am also jealous of your slow cooker ;/.
I had to figure something to do with the giant ass turkey I got (buying in bulk more these days). So, after spending the pain-in-ass time to carve the meat from it, I decided to play with panko crumbs which I had never done before. I have to say I think I enjoy panko crumbs for turkey or even chicken better than Italian mixes. It's nice and light and goes well with some Parmesan cheese/olive oil/fresh parsley. Arugula was a simple olive oil/lemon juice/pepper mix.
Also, Korean dumplings, mandu, from the other night. Video Recipe by Maangchi. Korean food hits the comfort spot, but god it's a pain in the ass to make. Heh, and yeah, my mom talks exactly like she does in that video.
Downloaded seasons 1-11 of Good Eats. Alton is making me really wish I had a bigger kitchen and whatever "smoked" cumin is.
