I was proctoring final exams this week and brought along John Thorne's
Serious Pig for entertainment. (Watching students grimace over exam
questions they should know gets old fast.) I found a recipe for black
beans and rice with rum and decided to try it last night. Bland, bland,
bland. No scotch bonnet peppers or anything. I had better luck with
the coleslaw that I improvised with half a head of cabbage, red and
yellow bell peppers, scallions, cilantro, and a little avocado. This
was dressed with a mixture of white wine vinegar, olive oil, cumin, and
(secret ingredient) Maggi sweet chile sauce.

Allow me to be the first to tell you that avocado has no business in
cole slaw. None. Now, back to our regularly scheduled program.

Agreed! However, grated raw beets are excellent in red cabbage slaw.

It's kind of your imagination. If I agree with him, I'm not terribly
likely to say, "Me, too." And in this case, Sheldon was baiting me with
his remark about beets because he knows of my emphatic and high dislike
of them. Boiled dirt. And I hate to disappoint, so I took the bait.
:-) I wuz teasing him.

-Barb,

Ah, cool.

I'd forgotten you dislike beets.
I don't care much for them either!
Probably because my parents tried to
force me to eat them as a kid when I
hated them then.

My tasted have changed a LOT since then
and I like stuff now that I did not as
a kid, but beets, unfortunately, are not
one of them...

Sheldon is a brat no?

cole slaw. None. Now, back to our regularly scheduled program.

Sheldon

I thought the avocado sounded interesting. Although I generally use them
for guac or other dishes. I've never used them in cole slaw. I might give
it a try with Cindy's dressing. It sounds good to me.

Michael

The only reason I put avocado in the slaw is to use a few random pieces
up. The SO needed avocado for a recipe that appeared in the latest
Gourmet (shrimp with tamarind, p. 150) and there was some left over.

Beets are very nutritious!

Excellent. You can have mine. Oh -- never mind. I don't have any.

Shame on you! Reminds me of one Easter at my brother's. I was still a
child -- maybe a teen. The kolbasa from Kramarczuk's was on the
premises (did I mention that I buy it in 15" sticks, about 1-1/2"
diameter). I walked past the kitchen door just as SIL Jean wielded one
and said (to the other ladies in the kitchen), "Now THERE'S a man."
She's 83 now and still laughs about it. That and the time she walked in
on Rob when he was in the bathroom (before we were married). She was
fourteen shades of red. Rob just smiled. "-)

Beets, not money, is the root of all evil, you ask me. The MIL used to
regularly serve beets and I think she just did it to p*ss me off. And
the most evil beet dish of all is borscht. She used to do a double
whammy at Christmas: borscht and lutefisk <shudder> How's that for
cultural confusion?

Joking aside, beets get a bad rap before people learn how to handle the
potential bleeding problem. Easiest way: gently brush anything loose
off beets, cut tops off leaving up to an inch of the stems on. Save
the greens for separate use. Wrap the beetroots in aluminum foil,
sealing well. Bake for 45 min. in a medium oven (say, 350°F).
Remove, set aside until not too hot to handle. Now, finally, peel them
with a sharp paring knife.

If you grow your own, (they are very adaptable and hardy) the greens
are excellent. Burpee's golden are especially tasty for both the
beetroot and the greens, we think. -aem
