I love beets. They remind me of my childhood. But I did not buy them much when my husband was alive because he did not like them and I was not going to cook different meals.
When he died, I did not start to eat again some food that I had stopped eating because of him. In fact, it took me some time to start eating ice cream again. I had stopped buying all sorts of sweets after he got diabetes.
When I was checking veggies at the supermarket yesterday I noticed that beets were very cheap. And I bought some. I have fresh cilantro and I have lemon so I´ll make a delicious beet salad with cut cilantro leaves and lots of lemon.
Up to now, that is all I have for lunch. I don´t think that I´ll be able to make a minestrone for lunch. Maybe for dinner. It is half past 1 PM and here I am, cozy in bed. Maybe I´ll eat the beets and maybe a couple of eggs. Who knows? I could cook some scrambled eggs with ham. There´s a lot of it.
What are you having today?

I haven't had beets for a long time. I need to get some too.
I am not sure as my IBS is bothering me.

Beets are one of the few veggies I won't eat. Meals on Wheels today had a fish sandwich, potato wedges, grape juice and coleslaw. It wasn't bad. Have a good day.

Today we are all tired after getting back late last night, and we haven't had a chance to do any shopping either. So we cooked some bulghur wheat and prepared some cous cous (there wasn't enough of either) then ate up some cooked chicken from the freezer plus a few frozen vegetables, olives, preserved lemon and fresh herbs from the garden.
