But the one time I tried to cook with them at home they turned into a sloppy mess. I accidentally overcooked them until they were soggy and tasteless. Maybe I'd be more successful with this raw recipe.<BR/><BR/>So enjoying this blog! Your graphics, writing, anecdotes--everything is divine! And you always make me laugh!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09533114346933377805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27849118.post-35252689212832077562009-02-26T09:25:00.000-08:002009-02-26T09:25:00.000-08:00Goodness, Tipsy, you have been busy writing this w...Goodness, Tipsy, you have been busy writing this week. And I have been neglecting the wonderful, interesting, often very funny entries. I almost feel I am becoming an excellent cook without having to actually pick up the pot---all quite enjoyable, vicarious and easy.<BR/><BR/>The Vegetarian phase is so timely, given the economic times and all the health information emphasizing anti-oxidents, lots of fruits and vegetables, etc. You make it all seem relatively manageable---though not as easy as my baked potato and salad last night, sweet potato and guacamole on whole wheat (home made) bread on Monday. But a lot more interesting.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27849118.post-59774976102225692432009-02-26T08:52:00.000-08:002009-02-26T08:52:00.000-08:00Layne -- the pasta I really wanted to make was bee...Layne -- the pasta I really wanted to make was beet pasta but my spouse is such a beet-hater I couldn't inflict it upon him. Am waiting for the proper occasion when he is absent to attempt.<BR/>This is not the best starter beet recipe. Try roasting them and making a salad with toasted nuts and Humboldt Fog (or similar) cheese. That's how I got completely over my beet thing. There's a restaurant here that serves that salad and it is practically the only lunch for which I will spend money and leave the house. It is so good.tipsybakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796856700365644779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27849118.post-90159802512229807052009-02-26T08:48:00.000-08:002009-02-26T08:48:00.000-08:00I've made a goal for myself to learn to like beets...I've made a goal for myself to learn to like beets this year. I've never eaten them . . . is this a good beginning beet eater's recipe? Or would I be better off roasting them? <BR/><BR/>Colored pasta is so much fun. I want to make all sorts of colors now.Laynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14784505992803814556noreply@blogger.com
