It smells real good in here....
We bought a bunch of tomatoes at the market yesterday and made some sauce. It's simmering on the stove right now and smells divine. We also got some hot peppers, a cantaloupe that absolutely melted in our mouths, and tons of miscellaneous vegetables that M pickled. But the beets were what really made my day. First of all, it's fun to talk to the farmer while you are picking out beets and hear about how much she loves them too. Then it's fun to scrub off all the dirt, and chop off the green parts to saute, and coat them in the tiniest bit of oil before popping them into a hot, hot oven. Then to hear them sizzle and squeal, until you can't stand it anymore and poke them with a fork to see if they're done and bright pink juice squirts everywhere!
Yum.

you sound like julie or julia!! i can't get enough energy or forward motion to make anything today that doesn't require a microwave~ugh! Anyway, it sounds delicious and i am super jealous. :)
You know I also love beets. Grandpa B got me hooked on them. He would cook them in the evening and melt butter over them and that would be a snack! Aunt DC got me hooked on "roasting" beets, yum! But I never heard about doing anything with the greens. Sounds . . .different.

Love of beets must run in the family. My mother used to make Harvard beets. They had a tart/sweet orange sauce. But nothing is better than slow roasted beets. Aunt Mary
