LOVE ME love me not
Beet wars 2017 just ended. At least once per year, I post something random about eating beets on social media. Every time, it ends in my friends arguing the merits, or not, of this ever-controversial veg. I am amazed by how passionately people love or hate beets. The confusing ones are the folks that love merlot & hate beets. I’ll never understand the disparity. They both have that same from the earth pungency, so shouldn’t it be a black & white issue? This next Call is definitely all about the black & white of it all. Take a look…
