So who else thinks that Fall Out Boy and John Mayer’s version of “Beat It” is awesome? Yeah, me too. Of course I’m not a Michael Jackson fan, and I do not care if he’s a musical genius.
My latest cooking adventure involved beetroot. Any veggie that tastes great out of a can should be given a vegetable medal. Or something. This was beetroot soup from – what else? – “Delicious” magazine. My most favoritest magazine EVER.
It’s one of the most beautiful soups I’ve seen, a light fuschia colour with bright green chives sprinkled on top. But more importantly it was simple.
Sautee an onion, carrot and potato in butter, add a few bay leaves, a litre of vegetable stock and a cup of water and let it boil. Then add a 450 gram can of chopped beetroot. Cook some more. Then blend. Add chives and cream if you want it. Finit.

You can give props to the likes of John Mayer and Fall Out Boy but not the legendary MJ?
My mother was listening to the ‘Thriller’ album when I came home today for lunch. Pretty hip, eh?
Is beetroot what Aussies call beets? Kind of like “capsicum”?

Thanks for posting the “Beat It” video. It’s the first time I heard/seen it. And John Mayer is amazing!

Devi,
Beets? Can we call you Dwight?
(You will only get that if you watch The Office)

I love Dwight, and I embrace the comparison. I’m secure, Abby. I’m secure.

H, I think beets and beetroot are the same thing, and I’m not a MJ fan. At all.
