Sugar Beets: Edible or No?

We received a sugar beet as a gift of sorts from a friend (Kyle) who was driving a beet truck during the harvest. He assured us that there were many old Norwegian recipes that could be found online. So, we took the thing with the intention of serving it to him the next time he visited... Take note: the sugar beet is actually white beneath all the dirt. Have you ever seen one this clean??

Mmm... can't wait to eat it!

We're finding it a little hard to cut through.

Now it's all chopped up and ready to go. All we need is a recipe... nothing on the internet... except a hint that you can use them in place of parsnips...

Woohoo! A wonderful dish of sugar beets (they were supposed to be parsnips), carrots, onions, rosemary, and garlic! Who would have thought it possible? When asked if they would ever eat a sugar beet again, all those polled said a resounding "no." I didn't think it was THAT bad... it was certainly a worthy experiment.

Wedding Pics are Online!

Hooray! We finally got the first batch of wedding pictures up on Shutterfly for your viewing pleasure! You can order them if you would like. They're pretty cheap on Shutterfly.

Coming soon: the preparation of a sugar beet to make it fit for human consumption... we in North Dakota are easily amused.

Our Apartment!

Greetings! Here are a few pictures of our apartment, which we recently finished unpacking. All the pictures are up on the walls and everything... This is one half of the living room. We tried to cover the icky paneled walls as much as possible...

The other half of the living room with Keith in his favorite chair...

The kitchen (relatively clean)...
