Beets and Broccoli
Yes, we still have more beets. Everything is pink.
I was trying to think of something new to do with them, and the old Chinese restaurant dish "Beef and Broccoli" jumped to mind because it sounds like "Beets and Broccoli." So that's what I made. Beets, that is.
Simmered three raw beets (finely sliced) in water. Added 170 g Quorn tenders. Added a lot of broccoli. 1 tablespoon Trader Joy's low sodium soy sauce. Garlic powder. Teaspoon of olive oil before serving.
This would be really good with scallions I think but I didn't think of that till it was too late.
I'm serving a side of nonfat plain organic yogurt that MR fixes up with Walden Farms chocolate sauce, 1 teaspoon hazelnut oil and some hazelnuts.
I'm eating my quotidian salad for lunch, with Trader Joe's nonfat cottage cheese and salsa verde and avocado. I love avocado on the side of my salad. It's all very green.
What a preppy table. All pink and green today.
Tomorrow I'm back in Scranton and I'll be there all week. May not have much time to write, as things will be crazy busy. If anyone doesn't hear from me, fear not. If anything happens to me someone will let the blog know. Assume I'm just busy.

I promise that I won't bring any more beets as much as I love them. M

Thanks for the info; I found your spring 2005 entries especially helpful where you mention that you used to chow down...I've been working on that problem for many years now and it's nice to read the tips and tricks you use. I agree about the weight thing; people are always judging. We women are too fat, we are too thin, we are too Barbie, we are too Butch. Whatever. Hopefully some day I will learn to follow the CR diet faithfully!
