Margaret, believe me my feelings weren't hurt - I was just teasing you. I
think the whole "beet war" is funny. I know I can't stand to be around
them when they're cooking - it's too earthy a smell for me. Pickled,
though - that's another story!

Oh, Dora, I was teasing you right back. However, I really do not like
them at any time, not even when I am pickled. :o)

I'm not sure I'd attribute it to California, but maybe you were joking?
I've been in California for a little over 30 years, and spent the 25
before then in the state of Washington.

Some people don't like their jobs, but you gotta make a living. Some
people don't like where they work, but you gotta have a place to live.

Some people thrive on contention. Other avoid it to the extent of doing
things that hurt them. But nobody *needs* to read or post to rfc, and
they need to tailor this environment to suit their likes and dislikes. We
all need to allocate our time, and if Helen chooses to killfile certain
posters, well, that's what it's for.

It's ABEL, like Cain and Abel in the Bible. Able is a description of me,

Beta vulgaris <and now you know>

Both the root and greens are good sources of vitamins.
Medicinal: Red Beets stimulate the immune system,
possible anti-cancer properties.

Yes, Margaret, that is INDEED! an offensive word!

In fact, I think if anyone really wants to insult Sheldon
they should call him a "filthy b--t"! Or is that redundant.

It's not possible to insult me... and I love BEETS, pulled right from
the ground... first thing I bite their leaves off... little sand
doesn't bother me, no worse than a few **** hairs in my mouth.

Why do folks gotta keep bringing me into threads I'm not even a part
of... I gotta be the most important, powerful poster here... in fact
I'm positive those like Kate lie in bed all alone at night dreaming of
me while using up D cells.

I should think that two ladies such as you and I, with impeccable
upbringing should not sully ourselves by mentioning the objectionable
four letter word again. :o) Let this thread die a painless death.

Tonight for dinner I will have Ox Tail Ragout!
With mashed potatoes and green peas and a green salad. While I was
simmering the oxtails, I found a container in the freezer, in which I
was collecting chicken gizzards. I added them to the oxtails. I
tried them already, having cooked them for more than three hours.
They are wonderful.

Marcel will eat Gaspacho, Chicken a la King with mashed potatoes and
green peas and the same salad as I.

Strange, as sad as I am about the terrorist attack in London, I still
am looking forward to tonight's dinner. I guess I am getting really old.

Any firm and sour apple will do, such as Winesap or Braeburn. If you
cannot get horseradish root, you can use prepared horseradish, such as
Gold's or Manischewitz. Do not use the extra hot one, only the
original. Good luck with the salad.

Oh, I don't know, Sheldon. The Shriners were just here in town and I'm
inclined to use one of their titles: Illustrious Potentate.
'Course, you'd have to wear a fez.

Thinking too small. Can be steamed dirt, baked dirt, deep-fried dirt,
mashed dirt, pickled dirt...

I think it's because you're an oddity. So when they see something
bizarre and inappropriate, they naturally think of you.
Hope this helps! ;-)
