Happy Thanksgiving

I found this roadside stand on Cape Cod's Route 6. It was located in Eastham on the site of a former gas station. A sign with an arrow marked the exit, "Fresh Turnips."

There's a bin filled with the fat, freshly dug root vegetables. Beside it is a table with an unmanned electronic scale beneath a plastic protective cover. An instruction sheet advises visitors to weigh the turnips and to drop the calculated payment into the mailbox-like cash box.

I selected four fat turnips and dropped $11.00 to cover the $10.40 displayed by the scale. The turnips turned out to be a delicious addition to an already Pilgrim-inspired Thanksgiving feast!
