I must! They'd be great with honey, I bet. Thanks for the nice words. :)<BR/><BR/>Brittany - "you had me at trichinosis" made me lol. <BR/><BR/>Coco - I cut the greens off the beets when I get them home, so I won't be too lazy to cook the greens (which always go nasty first). I think I might stick to this format for recipes for awhile.<BR/><BR/>Kittie - As a scientist, I have always preferred metric measurements. Grams are always grams! But scales are a pain in the ass, admit it. :)<BR/><BR/>Petah - I am the Porky Queen. I proclaim it!

The one thing I dont like about food blogging is writting out the actual recipe and remembering.I'm horrible at that.Plus I fear some crazy will write me and complain how their dish didnt turn out. I have heard of that happening! Plus I just throw a lot together after reading up on it.<BR/>I purchased golden beets but they went all soggy and limp before I could get at them.glamah16https://www.blogger.com/profile/16724763173861801914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12768753.post-28620436950404298782008-02-28T13:28:00.000-08:002008-02-28T13:28:00.000-08:00You had me at trichinosis, this is now on my menu ...You had me at trichinosis, this is now on my menu for next week.Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15874958369943279206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12768753.post-71604523350777855742008-02-28T12:35:00.000-08:002008-02-28T12:35:00.000-08:00Have you ever made the blue grits into patties?

Blue cheese goes great with beets too. :)<BR/><BR/>Ben - I made up the word "suavecita" based on "Rico Suave" by Gerardo (you're prolly too young to know that song). I started calling my Catalan friend Rosalia "suavecita" after one time when spent the evening drinking cheap wine and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes laced with hashish. That was a LOOOOOOONG time ago!<BR/><BR/>Judy - I think the golden beets taste a little less sweet than red beets, but that might be psychosomatic. :P<BR/><BR/>Valli - This dish is deceptively easy and doesn't take much time. If you whack the beets into the oven right when you get home you can spend a bit of time relaxing or getting your mise en place.<BR/><BR/>Syd - Is it strange that I was too lazy to cuss?
