Beets also cost me a lot of money. One time when I was making that red velvet cake with beets, I put the beets in the vitamix to puree them. The lid wasn't on tight. Splattered up to the ceiling in the kitchen. Tried to touch it up, but, couldn't find the ceiling paint can. Ended up having to paint the entire kitchen ceiling.
It's their fault that they're that good in red velvet cake. If they weren't, they never would have been in the recipe and, subsequently, never in my house because they taste like dirty ass by themselves. And before you ask....don't ask.
I won’t, but only because I have enough faith in the rest of these idtios to pick it up and run with it.
