That works fine. I don't cut anything off of them, though (besides making them delicious, I like roasting beets because I do not have to peel them or chop them when they are raw which I find difficult and messy) You can rub the skin off with wads of paper towels, or let the beets cool down and peel them with your fingers.

Go you with the flossing!

I was going to try the paper towel trick, because I want to eat them warm with some feta on top. Last week I had a beet puree with rice that was fantastic. I want to try that (or maybe with quinoa instead of rice), but not tonight.

Timelies all!

A bit chilly here, but not as bad as it could be. Still can't wait for spring.

I have had 3 people in the last two weeks say something to me about dating. Finding me someone to date, saying I need to date (they did not say it as rude as it reads), suggesting I date someone. it's weird.

We are expecting another big storm starting sometime tomorrow. I need to hit the store as the kids are EVERYTHING while I was out of town. I REALLY don't want to go.

Unsolicited comments about dating = bad boundaries. On the part of the person giving the unsolicited advice, just to be clear.

Yeah I think also. 2 are co workers and I think one has a misguided crush. The third is a currently heartbroken ex coworker, who I think meant more that I need people and in that he is not wrong.

How about repeated, unsolicited career advice to someone who has been getting cards from the AARP for years? That's almost as nice as when you get mad and suggest other people require therapy to be less annoying.

People are a mess.

Remember how it was so warm here early? NSM tonight. Wearing regular tights instead of fleece-lined was A Mistake.

Steph, tomorrow when your pee is pink, remember it is the beets.
