Comment on Pink Soup! by aa

What a pretty pink soup :) Borscht has been on my to do list forever!
Since you get CSA veggies, I am assuming that the greens are not as sad looking as grocery store beets? If yes, then here’s a recipe I tried last summer and loved: http://keeptrying.wordpress.com/2007/04/13/tambdi-bhajji/
It uses, beets, greens, stalks - everything! and is very very yummy in my opinion. while she is particular about specifying ‘fresh coconut’ and ‘coconut oil’ - you can easily substitute that with vegetable oil and regular unsweetened dry (sweetened may make it a tad too sweet, since beets are already sugary!), or the frozen grated coconut you get in Indian grocery stores.
If you dont have tamarind I would skip it in the recipe and finish with sqeezing the juice of a lime at the very end (lime juice imparts a bitter flavor if you boil it on high heat, or for too long) Happy (B)Eeting :)

Comment on Do You Use Exfoliating Body Scrub? by marianne

I’ve heard of this before. I’ve found that brown sugar (mixed in with face or body wash) exfoliates really well. Plus, it smells good :)
