SIDE NOTES:
This recipe was passed on to me from my friend Lynn. It’s delicious! (Though only half of us are beet lovers in this house). I sometimes add other spices to this recipe, like rosemary or thyme.
I had never eaten a beet before I joined my local CSA several years ago. Now I look forward to seeing them in my weekly box during harvest season!
Not necessarily table talk, BUT…..If you try beets for the first time, don’t be alarmed if the next day, both liquids & solids coming out the other end have a bright magenta hue, and in fact, if you’d like to check your “bowel transit time” (how long it takes food to travel from mouth to toilet), eating beets is the easiest way to do it.
