Mmm sounds delicious. Harvard? Is that a kind of beet or a recipe?

**Bottesini** · 10-21-2009, 06:38 PM

Popeye's chicken with red beans and rice after a long day babysitting! Tired!

**Phillips** · 10-21-2009, 06:49 PM

It is a recipe. Combine 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup cider vinegar, pinch of cloves, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch in small saucepan. Bring to a boil stirring with a wisk to break up cornstarch. Boil until thick. Remove from heat, add 1 can of slice beets (drained) and let stand for 30 minutes. Before serving, bring back to simmer, add 1 tablespoon of butter and stir to combine.

These have a sweet and sour taste that goes really well with the earthy taste of the beets.

Tonight was my dad's special pork chops, potatoes w/ herbs & carrots.

**LDNanna** · 10-22-2009, 12:20 AM

Fish and shrimp, fried, baked potato, slaw and tea. mmmm

Jillio, that sounds like the usual yummy harvard beet recipe. Did you ever try adding 3 whole cloves and a pinch of cinnamon? Do remove the cloves before serving. Serve them with orange or lemon wedges. (my mamas recipe) She would also serve with the greens from fresh beets if we were lucky enought to have them. Our farmers market has had amazing beets of all colors and sizes.

inspirabull · 10-22-2009, 03:06 AM

Those Harvard beets sound mighty good. I like that combining opposite flavors sounds perfect for beets. Never really thought about a wide variety of them? Like squash? All different flavors too? Always figured a beet is a beet is a beet... smiles, those things are one powerhouse root.

**LDNanna** · 10-22-2009, 07:40 PM

I dont notice much flavor difference, just sweetness. The colors range from golden to deepest red/purple. Some are like eyes iris inside with radiating hues of gold and red. Very pretty when chilled and added to salads. Nice to serve plain on a bed of lettuce, chilled.
I just boil water, drop in the beets, washed and whole, with a dash of vinegar (I think it helps keep the color) and cook them until they are tender. They are then plunged into icy water to stop the cooking. The peel comes away very easily. They can then be cut into slices or dice or whatever you wish. Such as lovely slices for good harvard beets or simply tossed with your favorite salad. Silly me likes them just plain.

If you like, beets can be grown easily, and here is a link with pretty pictures so that you can see colors

Ritz as in Ritz crackers? I've never heard of fudge being covered in Ritz crackers. Is it really good? I bet it's the salt that gives it the extra taste.

kazumi · 10-22-2009, 08:51 PM

chicken with gravy on it , corn, and green beans yummy!

It is a new item in the store. Boxes of Ritz crackers cover in fudge.

Kind of like graham crackers cover with chocolate. They were really good.

inspirabull · 10-23-2009, 03:43 PM

Thanks LDNanna I got a kick out of seeing the variety. Beets grow well up here.
I like the idea of varying from the same ol' same ol' beets I have eaten all my life. They are amazingly nutricious little critters.

**Bottesini** · 10-23-2009, 03:48 PM

Tonight will probably be Campbells soup, and Kraft mac and cheese. And juice.

Loghead · 10-23-2009, 04:15 PM

Tonight we are ordering pizza.

dogmom · 10-23-2009, 04:48 PM

sometimes I like beets in my salad...did u know there was orange beets?

Tonight, one of my fav's - fish, and salad and beans-

I'll have to try that. I have a recipe for orange beet salad that has mandarin oranges in it, and orange juice in the dressing. It is yummy, too. I really like beets, and they are so full of vitamins and minerals.

dogmom · 10-23-2009, 09:02 PM

I will look for these orange beets...

how about AD cook book?

I believe that was decided we might have problems since so many of our good recipes are out of already published books.

**sequoias** · 10-23-2009, 10:43 PM

A creative deaf based cook book would be a better idea...

Loghead · 10-24-2009, 09:50 PM

Tonight was homemade macaroni casserole.

**Bottesini** · 10-24-2009, 09:54 PM

Fuddrucker's hamburger, fries, and chocolate shake.

**LDNanna** · 10-24-2009, 10:33 PM

Pinto beans, coleslaw, smoked beef brisket, sliced onion and tomato, cornbread with real butter and banana bread. mm-mm

I hope to have my favorite salad with beets tomorrow. I will grill two chicken breasts with lemon, garlic and olive oil, then add the onion and tomato left over from today in it too. We like to add canned artichoke hearts and heart of palm when we can find it. My husband got the fresh salad greens today. He likes to make a bed of the torn or chopped greens and arrange everything separately to be pretty. The beets really look and taste good with these things. My husband likes a sprinkle of feta on his, I prefer mozzarella. He likes catalina (ew) and I like a lemon, garlic, balsamic and dijon dressing. My daughter prefers an asian style sesame/mirin vinagrette. (she is awesome, the only kid I know who got a letter in culinary arts) We both like cracked pepper with this. He likes saltines and I like sour dough croutons if I have any. I hope we get to do this, I will let ya know.

souggy · 10-25-2009, 05:30 AM

Dinner sounds delicious, and the salad does, as well. But no Catalina, please!
