I Need a Beet

Beets are really simple to cook (though they take time). You just boil them for an hour, rinse them in cold water, and the skins can be removed with your fingers. They taste good as hell, and even better with some butter, fresh dill, salt and pepper.

The thing is, though, they turn your piss bright pink. I swear to God, mine looked like Hi-C Pink Lemonade. I contemplated taking a picture, but then decided against it. You can take my word for it. (And no, there's nothing wrong with my bozack ... though I did get startled before remembering my dinner.)

Beets are quite good and do have interesting effects on the coloration of your gastrointestinal leavings. Don't worry, it's not blood.

Since you say they are good, I'm going to get some next time I go to the store. I eat the canned/jarred ones a lot, but I've been hesitant to try fresh ones.

The other issue is that they turn (and can stain if left) your sheets and undershirts/underwear pink.

No more comments! Either someone has violated Godwin's Law, I'm tired of the discussion or, most likely, the ten-week window has closed. You can, however, contact me through email.
