Beetific

Scrub and rinse the beets, until they’re clean, rinse with cold water. Leaving roots on, cut the stems off to about 1 or 2 inches. Leave the skin intact. Place the whole beets in a large saucepan. Add salt and cold water to cover. Bring to the boil over high heat. Cover with a tight lid, turn heat to med-low. Cook about and hour or until tender. Remove the beets, allow to cool then peel.

Bring your broth to a simmer in a large saucepan on high. Slice or grate the cooked beets (I prefer grated) and add to broth. Reduce heat to low, allowing to simmer uncovered about 30 minutes. Stir in vinegar and pepper. Season with lemon juice and sugar to taste. Simmer over low heat about another hour, do not boil. Strain. Serve steaming hot. Garnish with dill or parsley sprigs, and my particular favorite a good size dollop of sour cream.

Thanks Joe for this nice “concept” 45. I wonder if they had one for Matthew. Like getting that “license plate” for your first bike. Joe also has a cool blog called ArtLung

The Riddler unmasked

riddler45_2.jpgriddler452.jpg

Riddle me this: Frank Gorshin was more than just The Riddler on Batman.   He was in some classic fifties exploitation, b-movies including “Hot Rod Girl,” “Runaway Daughters,” “Dragstrip Girl,” and “Invasion of the Saucer Men”.     He also brought the character Sammy Glick to life in the broadway production of “What Makes Sammy Run.”     He died in 2005, two days after his final performance in an episode of CSI.
