Beets are beautiful


Jesus, I love beets. Aren't these gorgeous!? Pictured here is a fast, fast dinner. Salad, new potatoes tossed with some simply fresh pesto sauce, and beets boiled until soft.
Jeremy is just starting to like beets. He can't get past the earthy/dirty flavor. I was one of those weird kids who loved beets. (Although I was a dirt eater, too.) Yellow ones are more mild, and you can eliminate some of the dirt flavor by peeling them before you boil them. I've heard you can boil them in wine or stock or tea as well, but I've never tried that. I'd love comments from anyone who has...
