In Austria celeriac is typically made like a "Wiener schnitzel".
Peel celeriac, slice 1/2 " thick, dry, dip in flour, egg wash and good bread crumbs. Saute in olive oil.
If celeriac is used in a raw salad, celeriac is sliced (like Ali's recipe) and mixed with a grated tart apple. Salad is dressed with a light lemony creamy dressing.
I forgot to add that lemon is used to prevent celeriac from discoloration!
There’s a recipe from the New York Times for a soup with celeriac, potatoes, leeks and an apple. I make it every year with our CSA. Be sure to double the recipe though!
For celeriac, not an exciting use, but I love it just simply mashed with a bit of butter and milk like you would potatoes. It's especially good as a bed for some kind of meat like saucy meatballs or long cooked pork shoulder.
Bummer about the popcorn! I've always been curious about cobs that (allegedly) pop, but have not tried it. On celeriac: I haven't used it much, but I have occasionally cut it into chunks and roasted it along with potatoes (just simply, with olive oil, salt & pepper). They go well together. Belated rutabaga suggestion: I love it cut into thick disks, brushed with honey or maple syrup, and roasted. Delicious.
I’m so sorry your corn didn’t pop! I placed my ear off popcorn into a paper lunch bag and it popped perfectly in 2.5 minutes. My microwave is not very strong (it usually takes much longer for things to get hot than other microwaves I’ve used). Could that be the reason it worked for me?
On the microwaved popcorn-on-the-cob venture: I’ve tried this before with mixed success. I think my best attempt was in a Pyrex bowl draped with a kitchen cloth, though I still got lots of burnt pieces. I’ve also had a cob catch fire… that was my last experiment. 😂
Overall, I think the best strategy is to ask the kiddos to pull the kernels off the cobs. Once it’s started it goes pretty quickly. My daughter’s preschool teacher used to include this as a fine motor skills activity in class.
could you make the pasta gratin vegan and use an oat or almond milk and then vegan cheese if choose too? thanks! I probably would use almond flour in the bechamel too

thank you! I have not seen that pasta before; i love the idea of it getting so crunchy like lasagna can do!!
Thank you for the corn info. I think I’ll give the deer a thanksgiving treat
Pop corn on the ear.
I had luck putting in a large bowl, covering with plastic wrap and microwaving it checking frequently, like every 1-2 minutes.
Cheesus that corn looks blue!

Such beautiful colors!
