What I'm ___ing Now

The sporadic "column" in which we highlight something we've been __ing recently. In this installment, I'm eating beets. The beet beat. I might be beating a dead horse on the beet beat, but beets can't be beat.

Beets: they're everywhere these days (but mostly the New York Times). In the news, on "must-eat" lists, in restaurants, in your salad from the salad bar, in your kitchen at home. So good for you, so delicious. Until about two years ago I assumed I hated them because they're ugly, they're weird, their name is vaguely onomatopoetically creepy, and they stain your poop red when you eat a lot of them. But then I had some really good ones--I believe it was a delicious red and golden beet salad--and everything changed. Hopefully referring to feces in this post will help everyone go eat some great beets.

Lot of breaking news today.

also, in Tom Robbins' "Jitterbug Perfume." Which I liked a lot more than I like actual beets.
