Today for lunch I am having a delicious garden burger made of whole grain brown rice, and vegetables with lettuce, tomato, tofu cheese, pickles and sprouts on a whole wheat bun. I am also enjoying a soba noodle salad and some sweet potato salad with wasabi sauce. I’m also having a quinoa salad with red beets. Quinoa is an ancient grass from South America. It’s a member of the goosefoot family of plants, but you probably knew that. It’s hard to describe the flavor. I guess that it tastes sort of quinoa-ey.
I love beets. I don’t think there are any purple foods that I don’t love. Grapes, plums, eggplant, purple cabbage, purple cows, Goofy Grape Kool-Aid... excuse me, I just got some beet juice on my keyboard. I think it’s my keyboard. I don’t know that much about computers. Anyway, I got some beet juice on the typey thing. I’d better finish my lunch before I short things out.
Enjoy your lunch,
Ellen

Ellen: I, also, love beets, especially Harvard beets, but any kind of of beets. No one else in my family likes them, so if I eat beets I have to eat them all by myself. (so lonely). My friend, Ruth, lives 350 miles away & she loves beets, too, but that is too far to go for lunch.
Perhaps, we could get together one day, for lunch, and eat beets. That would be so much fun because you are such a fun person, and I am, too, usually.
Call me up, and we'll make plans! I love your show--it is the highlight of my morning.
