beet poetry

last night, we dined on some delicious jewel toned beets using a recipe from my new cookbook the vegetable dishes i can't live without by mollie katzen. i am a recovering cookbookaholic (two-time member of the good cook cookbook club with every release from nigella lawson to prove it). i say recovering, but that isn't really true. you can't consider yourself recovering if you aren't making any attempts to hinder an activity you don't want to discontinue anyway, yes?

for those of you who are foodie inclined, go here to get the recipe for my new favorite side dish, roasted beets with tart grapefruit glaze. mollie's online recipe includes carrots which i'm sure are yummy, but just beets are pretty good, too. i had fun practicing my lady macbeth impression while i was peeling them.
