what sort of cheese, Andy? paneer?

Beets? Ewwwww

My Mom put some strange things in my lunch when I was a kid, but at least she never made beet and cheese subs.

Famous in her eyes only.

INfamous, that is

Pickled beets, on the other hand … Well, I never tried them with cheese.

A couple of years ago I had a yearning for beets, so I bought some and cooked them up.

I found out that, apparently, over the years I’ve become susceptible to “Beeturia”. (Google it)

It came as quite a shock when my “output” turned bright red for a day or two.

So is that what my kids heard when I told them I’d packed ham & cheese with a juice box for lunch?

her enthusiasm is not contagious

I must have missed the anatomy lesson where mothers lose their taste buds. Beets are the one food I absolutely refuse to eat.

The Food Police have determined that if you eat an egg, you’re DOOMED! DOOMED! I SAY!

ew

if you google it I came up withWarm Goat Cheese, Beet and Arugula Sandwiches

No, they did not forget, do not like.

Eew! Beets are nasty! My mom used to make them once a year for our Passover Seder. She mixed horseradish in it for the bitter herbs and the beets for the blood of Christ’s passion. None of us liked them, not even her. We eventually just got the beet horseradish, but the color fades eventually. So we just skip the beets now and use plain horseradish.

“Can you believe that on the day I made my famous beet and cheese subs, ALL THREE of them nearly forgot their lunches?! I can’t believe it!”

“Kinda makes you think, doesn’t it?”

“What do you mean?”

No less? I don’t think there could be less.

From time to time, everyone in that family, including Mom, is just a little clueless.

ka-beet

Any one delusional much?
