Beet Box

This just in. I LOVE ROASTED BEETS. So much, that I'm making this as part of dinner tomorrow. Writing it here so I don't loose it.

Preheat Oven to 400
Wash unpeeled beats, trim stems down to about 1" long
Drizzle with about 1 - 1.5 TBSP of olive oil in a shallow cake pan, toss to coat
Bake for about 1 hour 10 minutes

Immerse beets in cold water with ice to stop cooking and cool to peel. Peel and slice cooled beets into bite size wedges, arrange on a plate. Drizzle more olive oil, a little Cavalli balsamic seasoning, fresh cracked pepper and fresh ground sea salt. Crumble some goat cheese on there and yum.

In an alternate universe, part 1.

In alternate universe, I am a respected food critic. In reality, I am a picky vegetarian whose occasional weaknesses bring me to snack on savory, olive oil-dressed tuna salad or crispy bacon, and can't give a fair review of any restaurant except maybe the Sunflower Drive-In in Fair Oaks, where there isn't any meat on the menu.

Cluck, cluck.

S.O.S.

Terrible mood approaching. Please send help.

Or pizza.
