My Mum mixes the grated beetroot with orange segments and stirs together to make a really yummy fresh salad (I know it sounds like a weird combo but just try it!) or you could go for the Nigella Lawson recipe with dill and lemon - equally divine! Let me know how it goes if you try it!Lunch Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12764898156569097696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378864966200305798.post-61074345234176043262009-08-19T19:03:29.993-05:002009-08-19T19:03:29.993-05:00antonietta - long live beets!antonietta - long live beets!Jacquihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16342077127310264989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378864966200305798.post-4274605823361740572009-08-18T17:12:20.501-05:002009-08-18T17:12:20.501-05:00MMMM!

Very cool...<br /><br />I read "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues" years ago and loved it. It's an American classic, but I've never read any of Robbins' other novels, so I just ordered "Jitterbug Perfume" for my Kindle. Knowing your love of literature and what you buy for Mira makes me wholeheartedly trust your recommendations!

She picked up a beet, turned it over several times questioningly, looked around, and then proceeded to ask people around her how to cook and prepare them. She had no clue what to do!<br /><br />2) You should read Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins. He idolizes the beets in that book, but not for its food qualities. A good read!jlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03501678944309335430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378864966200305798.post-72600799318574297552009-08-16T19:29:19.460-05:002009-08-16T19:29:19.460-05:00I've been looking forward to your treatment of...I've been looking forward to your treatment of beets! Can't wait to try them your way... An aside: I grew up in New England eating beet greens, more than the beets, which were "put up" for winter use. The greens were simply boiled for a short time and served with vinegar. I still love them this way. (We used to eat brussels sprouts boiled and served with vinegar as a condiment, but now I prefer them broiled.)Ronnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06274711386379497914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378864966200305798.post-88719893531593552672009-08-16T15:01:42.983-05:002009-08-16T15:01:42.983-05:00i adore veggies too!!
