Beets are the one vegetable that really turn my stomach. I think because I only ever had nasty canned ones as a kid. Thanks, Mom.
Maybe I should try fresh ones. Or not.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Nasty canned beets do not taste like nommy fresh ones.

It's hard to choose between Virgin and Jet Blue, because both are awesome.
Well, for this trip, since I'm going coast-to-coast, I went with the non-stop. Leaves 90 minutes later in the morning and gets me into NYC three hours earlier.
I'll save VA for a trip to SF or LA. Which I should really plan, I'm thinking.

All this beet talk is going to lead me to trying beets again and it probably won't end well.
I love beets, both fresh and pickled. My guts do not.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Beets are on my 'eh" list of foods. Might be something about the color, or maybe its memories of having to eat borsht.

Like, I have watched Party of Five and Alias Smith and Jones, and the original Battlestar Galactica.
It won't help with POF, but for the others... is the Retro TV Network in your area?
(My favorite is Run For Your Life, because it is made of bananas.)

God, do I love the Internet.
I was just over at the local foodie website (LTH Forum) where I was posting about my fondness for the local Uzbek restaurant where I get the spicy beets and spicy carrots, and someone posted the recipe for the spicy carrots!!
I've got some cooking to do this weekend.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Wow. I'm watching All in the Family, and Archie just went down to the TV station to rebut an editorial from the previous night about gun control. He talks to the producer, and the producer calls a coworker in because, "I've got something I want him to see before it's extinct." So Archie gets to go on TV to talk about gun rights.
And the arguments he's using? EXACTLY the same as stuff people have been saying lately. Except people seem to be taking those arguments even more seriously now than they did then. Archie says that skyjackings can be prevented by arming all the passengers, and this gets huge laughs, like it's a completely ridiculous idea. (The stuff building up to there, the "We have rights to guns because we're Americans," didn't get the same sort of laughs.) I'm pretty sure this has been proposed on Fox News and similar places by actual political people within the past few years.
