We're getting our first winter CSA box tomorrow. It may contain beets. I have no idea what to do with beets. Or if I like them.
Simon: You're out of your mind. Early: That's between me and my mind.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Roast them. It's the easiest thing to do with them, and delicious.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Roast them, cut them into little cubes (being careful -- the juice stains, and it can get everywhere), and put them in a salad, with baby greens and walnuts and a citrusy dressing.

This is another easy way to cook beets:
And a delicious soup to make out of them (if you like caraway and buttermilk!):

I like them any way I've had them, but recently I had them just roasted w/ balsamic, and they were yum.

One of my cousins is in a production of Billy Elliot in LA, and the kid playing Billy (they just cast one kid for each of the kid parts, since it's just five nights a week and only for a few weeks) broke his arm a couple of days before opening. They got one of the other kids who'd played Billy in the touring company to fly in, and learned the new staging and choreography in four days. I'm really impressed with that -- learning new choreography for something after spending months doing different choreography must be really tricky. The show's getting pretty good reviews, too.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
what. Someone had to say it.
So true.
Seriously, you aren't peeing blood. Or pooping blood. You ate a bunch of beets. I forget this sometimes.
