Jack is Cooking Mashed Carrots and Swede (Rutabaga)

Well Hello Internet!

The other vegetable side dish in the Christmas Dinner that we made is mashed carrots and swedes.  this is something that my grandmother used to make, and is especially delicious.  In england the vegetable is called Swede, but here in america they call it a Rutabaga.

whatever you call it its pretty darn good.

This is the easiest thing we made!

heres what you'll need:
carrots
swedes
butter
salt and pepper
nutmeg

so first peel and cut all the vegetables and put them in a pot covered with water.  boil until they are tender, but not mushy



remove and strain, and put them back into the pot. and mash up with a potato masher



add some butter, salt, pepper, and a little bit of nutmeg, and mash again!  keep it a little lumpy though, you don't want this to be creamy.



so that's the carrots!

mmmm mmmm delicious!
