Tonight, things got kind of messy.
I cooked with beets. Real, honest-to-goodness beets, complete with fresh dirt from the ground they were plucked from. We'll call them the hemophiliacs of vegetables.
It scared me almost as much as an actual horror movie. Roasting beets, that is. Never done it before, and I have a real fear of anything unknown. Precisely the reason I ate nothing but cheeseburgers until the age of 20.
This was my first attempt at a beet salad. And as it turns out, roasted beets are soft and mildly sweet-like. We added feta cheese, avocado, pine nuts and shallots. Dressing was a red wine vinegar/white wine vinegar/oil mix. Yum, but it could have used a little more punch. Some zip.
Ka-pow. If you will.
I do, however, appreciate it's attempt at drama, what with the beets bleeding themselves all over their roommates in the bowl. Very Tarantino.

I am in LOVE with Trader Joe's pizza crust. In love. Mainly because it's $1.19 and delicious. Tonight was sweet Italian sausage, spinach and tomatoes. Anybody got any other pizza combos that are heaven on dough??
