Farmer's market

The bounty of the box

what the...?

So, husband and I joined a produce co-op. We pay a certain amount and then get a box delivered of produce that is locally grown. The box contains whatever is in season. The main idea is that we're supporting local farmers and getting food that is supposedly better because it doesn't have to be bred to sit in a grocery store. Did I mention that we get whatever is in season...

This brings me to my dilemna of the day... what the heck is that white thing at the bottom of the box? looks like a carrot, except it's white. My neighbor said this is the danger (as well as the excitement)... you don't know what you'll end up with and you may not know what to DO with what you do get...
