Your days are numbered!

(175,728 posts)My mother, who liked peas, only liked the LeSeuer petite peas, but they did come from a dreaded can.

(12,591 posts)IF. I finally learned to put a little soy sauce in artichokes - after 50 years of cooking. Now I am planting my own artichoke roots this year.
Now for beets and hominy - so eeck - but I know somewhere out there is a way to cook them that I would like - it is just finding it. (I have tried a thousand times - just can't find the recipe that suits me.)

There are all kinds of varieties of beets, some of them really beautiful. They go wonderfully in salads. Beets are rich in vitamins and antioxidants and some research suggests regular consumption reduces the risks of contracting diabetes.

(9,256 posts)Only possible use for beets (yummy):
2 cans sliced beets (not pickled) with juice
12 peeled hard boiled eggs
1 cup sugar
2 cups cider vinegar
3 cups water
Place beets with juice and eggs in large jar.
Boil water, vinegar and sugar til sugar is dissolved. Pour over beets and eggs, stir lightly to blend. Let eggs marinate 2 days or more. Slice eggs on half to serve and pass salt shaker. Throw away beets.

Eat with sliced fresh-from-the-garden tomatoes.
