Feh! You're a sick *******, Bubba. "-) I've always loved that about
you.

BUT --- get this. Are you sitting down? You're gonna love this. I
have at this VERY moment, a kettle of beets cooking on my stove. $3
worth from this morning's farmers market. It is my intention to turn
these disgusting things into some disgusting pickled beets and enter
them in the State Fair. It is entertainment, for me if for no one else.
I have no freakin' idea who will taste them for me * Rob is not likely
to do so. Possibly The Widow Dorothy. They're supposed to age for
three weeks before eating. This will just put them there.

(And I'd shoot myself before I'd ever mix beets with horseradish. Not a
matter of gilding the lily but one of not desecrating something good.)
