I Don't know how big squash balls are. 
link
2kg of roasting potatoes
8 medium parsnips
1 bulb of garlic
Small handful of rosemary
Small handful of thyme
Honey
Extra virgin olive oil
These potatoes are a superb with my Cheeky Christmas turkey with braised leeks and the best wine gravy recipe.
Method
Preheat your oven to 200C/fan180C/gas 6.
Peel your potatoes and parsnips. Cut your parsnips in half and put to one side. Chop the potatoes up into kinda squash-ball-sized pieces. Place into a pot of cold, seasoned water, and bring to the boil. As soon as it begins to simmer, add your parsnips and par-cook for 5 minutes, then drain well. When they?ve steamed dry, put them into a large roasting tray and push the potatoes to one side and the parsnips to the other.
Bash your bulb of garlic and, leaving the skins on, sprinkle over the veg. Then, sprinkle the potatoes with the rosemary and the parsnips with the thyme and some honey. Then drizzle enough olive oil over to coat the veg lightly. Then, with your fingers, almost dress the parsnips in all the lovely flavour and keep to one side, and do the same for the potatoes.
Season well to taste, and place in the oven for around 30 minutes or until golden and crisp. Feel free to cook earlier and reheat later; they?ll still taste fantastic.

Ever notice Englishmen only play villians in Hollywood (apart from Colin Firth obviously)
What about IRISH talent?
The country that brought you Colin Farrell, Liam Neeson, Pierce Brosnan...mmmmmmmmmm Pierce Brosnan, that voice, those eyes, Remington Steele!

But isn't it fun to like something you aren't? A lot of women like foreign men and vice versa. (hub likes Asian women). I have had a 4 year crush on Chris Martin- those eyes!
I guess if we are going to talk about men we should at least talk about men that cook- like Jamie Oliver again. J/K!

I'm weird. I don't find Brad Pitt attractive *at all*.
But good grief, don't get me started on Orlando Bloom!

I am home sick so this is just what I need. I am sure I like some Irish guys. Although sometimes I think one is and then he is Scottish. Like Alan Cummings. Anyway I like Ciaran Hinds in Persuasion. Etc. I wouldn't want to try your patience Sinead as a had a bad experience with an Irish woman that freaked out at me on-line!  I also am quite sorry about that skinny trollop Gwyn!

I've met Orlando Bloom!! In a pub when he was filming Lord of the Rings over here. I didn't actually think he was all that in person, to be honest. Lucky really. Had Johnny Depp been in LOTR and I'd seen him I'd have swooned!

My English Teacher at school went out with him!! She was on a school trip with the final year students and after a few drinks one night she told a few of them...he was apparently her first proper boyfriend and she his!! Im not the biggest fan of his...although he is cute....but imagine being able to say Orlando Bloom was your first boyfriend!!!

I thought he was fine* in LOTR, but in general I don't think he is the ultimate so to speak. I was surprised just how popular he is in the UK. You can't get away from OB calendars and stuff.
* fine as in -that man is fiiinnnne!
