| Red beets or beetroots from our garden |
But my husband loves them. He remembers them on their family table, prepared lovingly by his mom; he wanted them on our family table, too. The main reason why those red beets ended up in our backyard garden this year? He has been longing to eat red beets for years. Yet he has never tried to introduce them to us.
He simply assumed I don't eat red beets. And I simply assumed I won't like them. After more than ten years of abstaining from red beets, he finally succumbed to his craving.
The first time he proudly presented his red beet harvest? I was skeptic. I don't even know how to cook those red beets! No idea at all. And so, he told me. Preparing everything while I watched, still not sure if I would be eating those red things.

Because, I do love red beets.
And I will eat them in a box, and I will eat them with a fox, and I will eat them with a mouse, and I will eat them in a house. And I will eat them here and there. Say! I will eat them anywhere! I so do like them...

Sometimes we put diced red beets sa macaroni salad. Humahawa yung kulay nya sa macaroni kaya ang cute tingnan.
