I don’t know if you’ve ever come across the concept of a Blog carnival – if not I’ve explained it in detail on my site today (Oct 1). But basically the idea is to revive an old post which you think is worth rereading, or which you think new readers might enjoy. Send me the link to the post, and in November I’ll publish a series of posts describing and linking to all the posts people have nominated.<BR/>I hope you’ll join in and we have a fun carnival!<BR/>SueSue Swifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053188212601918182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21724582.post-90297867438956540462007-09-12T10:24:00.000-04:002007-09-12T10:24:00.000-04:00Hi Susan, that's real beautiful garden you've got ...Hi Susan, that's real beautiful garden you've got going, the beets look delicious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21724582.post-65467451755170414342007-07-08T13:23:00.000-04:002007-07-08T13:23:00.000-04:00That's a beautiful sandwich!

I make a salad with steamed sliced beets (marinated in balsamic vinegar, olive oil & garlic) over salad greens & arugula, topped with feta or goat cheese, red onion slices, and pine nuts or slivered almonds.

I'm going to try that sometime.<BR/><BR/>In case you are looking for other ideas for your harvest, I've attached the following roasting recipe below. When I'm craving beets, this is how I make them:<BR/><BR/>Lemon Garlic Roasted Beets<BR/>1 pound beets, peeled and sliced 1/4" thick<BR/>4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced<BR/>2 tbsp lemon juice<BR/>1 tbsp olive oil<BR/>S&P to taste<BR/><BR/>Preheat oven to 375 F.<BR/><BR/>In an 8" square baking dish toss all ingredients together.<BR/><BR/>Cover tightly with foil and roast for 40 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09877762764861731142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21724582.post-71695681788233281322007-06-30T22:15:00.000-04:002007-06-30T22:15:00.000-04:00I'm not a beet fan but that looks delish!
