"Eat Your Vegetables"

For those of you who have followed the antics of Dexter and know of his passion for bokchoy this may not be a big surprise.   Some of our beets were ready to harvest so I dug them out and while saving some of the greens, I realized that Dexter was eating not only some of the leaves, but was munching on the the purple stems.

Since he has taught Poko to enjoy bokchoy it was not too surprising that Poko joined him in a late afternoon salad.  Of course I had to limit their intake, but it was fun while it lasted.  I can never prepare beets without thinking of my dear friend from Blue Lake --Dottie, who seemed to have an infinite number of beet recipes.

"And the BEET goes on!"
