I am going to mine your posts for ideas of what to eat and cook when I'm tired of what I usually eat and cook, because everything you describe sounds mouthwatering.
Funny about turnips! It's like parsnips, a vegetable I'd never had until we lived in England for a while. My mother-in-law roasted them, and they were delicious: *sweet*, the way sweet potatoes are, but also nutty. A lovely flavor. And yet I hear they are often Not Faves with people.
You remarked on the chickadee saying fee-bee, the way they do, but do you know? for the longest time I didn't realize that that noise came from the same bird that said "chickadee-dee-dee." I thought the "fee-bee" came from the bird we call phoebe. You can see how I'd make that mistake. When I finally heard a real phoebe's raucous call, I felt bad for it. The chickadee says it much more nicely.
"Museumy" is an excellent adjective and should be widely applied (but only where appropriate)
