Robin loved all of your comments. Miel et Cannelle brought up the point that we don't know Burt's financial situation, which is true and totally valid. It's possible that I'm being an insensitive douche (it's been known to happen.) The thing is, he chose the restaurant for their first date. He took her to a trendy oyster bar in one of the fancier downtown neighbourhoods. He set the tone. Anyway, Robin hasn't fully decided what to do about Burt yet but I will keep you posted.

My family got together on Sunday to celebrate my mom's birthday. We were all in charge of bringing something to contribute to dinner. They should have been suspicious when I offered to bring the salad course.
Why yes, those are my November beets atop the salads. Suckers!

We have had nothing but rain for days. I try to walk the pups but it only takes a few minutes of precipitation before Wolfgang decides he has had enough and starts to cry. He is such a delicate flower. He'd much rather curl up in bed and hibernate until it's sunny and warm again. I don't blame him.
i can't believe you're already 11/12ths of the way through your Beet Year! hurrah!
ReplyDeleteI never thought I'd say this. But I'm kind of going to miss these beet posts.
ReplyDeleteWhy does Stella look like such a frowny little shit in every picture? Tired. Of. It. Someone needs an attitude adjustment!
Wow you brought the "beet" down on them! Get it? get it?
ReplyDeleteI don't blame Wolfgang. I actually cry when it starts raining too. Want. Sun. ALWAYS.
Wolfgang reminds me of our neighbor's dog who will not go out past 9PM and demands to be picked up if it's raining, snowing or if he's been standing on his feet too long. It's hilarious, though I think I might shoot myself if either of your dogs were mine. ha.
ReplyDeleteI say it every time but I LOVE how you have stuck with this!! So after December are you freed from the beet?
ReplyDeleteYou know, I've thought about my comment, and it was probably inappropriate and unfair. Yikes. Sorry about that.
ReplyDeleteAlso, now every time I eat beets - which has, happily, been several times in the last couple weeks - I think of YOU.
I can't believe you made a beet salad. Actually, I can. Hee.
ReplyDeleteYeah, he did set the trendy tone. And then he made her pay for it. No good at all.
ReplyDeleteAre you going to choose a new yucky veg to eat 12 times next year? I think you're awesome for sticking to it!
ReplyDeleteWe had a tiny bit of snow on Saturday afternoon...and then we were put on flood watch...
Wolfgang needs a raincoat!
ReplyDeleteThat salad looks so delicious!! It stopped raining today... for a bit, and it was great :)
ReplyDeleteI think your dogs are awesome! And so cute!!!
ReplyDeleteYay! You're almost done with the beet thing!
ReplyDeleteDude, those salads look BOMB.
