DC had donkeys and elephants. I think Chicago had cows.

Anchorage has salmon.

What's more Jenna knows someone who did one of the salmon entries. A knit cozy for a salmon statue.

I know some of you are all over this. I'm not naming names, but I'm looking straight at you--through mountains and pollen and buildings! Yes! YOU!

Peel and shred a pound of golden beets and two large turnips. Put them in a large skillet with a little un-chicken broth. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes.

Add a bag of mixed veggies (peas, carrots, limas, green beans) and a handful of shelled sugar snap peas (mmm, I love eating the pods).

Cover and cook another 5-10 minutes. Season with freshly cracked pepper and salt.

Serve with cheese and butter.
