well today is the last day of the year, so I decided to take a look at the horseradish. the chickens had scrabbled some soil away so all I had to do was pullllll and out it came - the whole root!
washed and grated it - and WOW! the fumes cleared my head, nasal passages and eyes watered and so I quickly popped it in a jar with some cider vinegar. better get on to the internet now to look for what to do with it!
