The NIP IS UP!!! Had to visit….(sniff sniff)
Yay, yay the sun is HERE and everything is twinkling and happy! Birdies at the feeder, little white border flowers doing their bordering, broad beans getting bee-ed, lemons languishing, wild asparagus wobbling, rosemary rampant, lavender so lovely, all’s well in the garden.
Wish it were with the world…
Still, we are tickled on Tuesday, as always…

And the beet goes on…..
Simmer fresh beets, cut in slices, until tender, about 20 minutes. Save beet water for soups or next batch of beets. Squeeze the juice of a lemon over the beets, add a little salt to taste and refrigerate. SO delicious and very good for the liver, we are told….Also good warmed up in a little butter to go with a main course. Brush beet tops with olive oil and crisp in a medium oven. Delicious.
And don’t be alarmed at the…uh…after effects…you’re fine!
That catnip must smell divine!
Well, it certainly attracts a certain neighborhood kitty lately. More on Rasta this week…
Have always been a beet fan….I think people forget how delicious they really are!
Hugs, Pam
And how much fun a kid can have drooling the juice, haha.
Simply beet-eautiful, Loulou – YUM! Hope your Tuesday is as twinkling as you and your mama.
OOOHH, merci Ms Militza, but you, too, seem awfully twinkly to US. And we read that you are getting a staunch Republican emissary to SA. Good luck……
Spring has to come a long wys further here to match your exuberent garden…but we have patience and know it won’t be long before we can see it all.
Beets, YUM!
Oui, beets, yum…so many say they don’t like them, but they are OH, so good and good for your liver, too, haha.
Beets are good, although they do have the “side effect.” Roasting them in olive oil sounds delightful.
Ha ha if you mean “that other thing” colors your…uh…
We need to grow some nip this year. 🙂 XO
Oui, mama, say your kitties! It grows like a weed and smell good even to mamas.
I like beets, they are yummy!

Mama, too, loved beet soup and it doesn’t have to be borscht! Just olive oil, sweet onion, a little garlic, good broth, a squeeze of lemon, and oh…yes…cooked beets, haha. Whiz up in a blender and served with a spoon of Greek yogurt in the bowl, or sour cream.
So nice to see how your garden is progressing !
“You can’t beat a beet.”
How true…and mama is SOOO BAD…she used to terrorize her mama (for a few seconds, anyway, he mama was sharp!) by eating a beet and leaving it in her mouth and telling her nama, “OH, something’s wrong with my teeth…they are bleeding”! Such a bad kid.
