Dad grew beets in the garden for a couple of years. Mom cooked those tiny beets and their greens. Nobody else ate them - except for me. I was the only child of seven who loved beets (and liver and a few other things too!) A half century later, I still eat the nutritious red vegetables once or twice a month but usually from a can and usually heated for lunch, much to the horror of my coworkers. However, a friend recently recommended a salad recipe that included julienned beets, green onions, sour cream, and balsamic vinegar. It was so appetizing that now I plan to have cold beets for many a summer lunch! In a world that talks too much, writing is a way to capture thoughts and shine a light on the enterprise of life - at home, in the kitchen, out in the garden and almost always through a camera lens.
