It's kind of amazing how uniformly red beets can dye everything that touches them - onions, carrots, pork...

We made borscht this weekend. I have managed to consume two whole bowls now without dyeing any of my clothing pink! Very proud.

I don't think I've ever had borscht.

If you like beets, you'd probably like this.

I think I'm trying to destroy my clothes today. I had blueberries for breakfast, borscht for lunch, and now I'm having red cabbage slaw as a snack. Thus far, I have avoided staining my pants purple, but I seem to be tempting fate.

You could try yellow beets - maybe less risk of staining? I had a cold beat salad at a restaurant the other night. It had red and yellow beets and goat cheese (I know, not a favorite of yours), and the young leaves from beets, too. It was beautiful and delicious!

sheesh. I corrected 2 incidences of misspelling "beet", and still got one wrong. Must be something subliminal going on there.

Anyway - the rest of the meal was large fried squash blossoms stuffed with ratatouie (and I don't know how to spell that) - very creative.

No, I like goat cheese - remember, I served you guys beet and goat cheese salad at Christmas?
