So I’m up in Kansas hanging out with Granny at the nursing home. They had beets at lunch the other day and we got talking about a day that I was visiting for the summer and helped her harvest the beets from her garden. And I remembered I had recently scanned the above picture from that day.
As you can tell by the smile on my face, this was BEFORE I had actually TRIED a beet.

Isn’t it a sad joke that something so pretty tastes so – well so like beets? Did you eat them fresh, or Granny’s favorite, “pickled”? EWWWW! At least to my knowledge they never planted brussels sprouts!!!
