Last week I retried shrimp. Still disgusting. <BR/><BR/>But I love beets. I have weird questions: did you remove the skin and did you cook them till they were soft. Really soft, like you could stab them with a skewer with almost no resistance?<BR/><BR/>Also I would recommend cooking them individually wrapped in foil at 400 degrees for at least 1 hour.<BR/><BR/>Then remove their skins with paper towels and serve with salt & pepper, and olive oil.qtillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10341878873082776791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2076532818291719012.post-61096540440513378642009-01-15T09:28:00.001-08:002009-01-15T09:28:00.001-08:00Life's too short to eat stuff you don't like!
