AH! Borscht. How I love a good beet borscht. My daughter, who loves to cook, made a whole batch for me recently---thick and tasty from fresh beets. The only thing it should carry a warning label that you are not bleeding when you urinate---it is the beets.

Store brought Borscht (Golds- Manishewitz-etc)are nothing but a watered version---a Beet drink if you will. The proof of that is you will have no fear of going to the bathroom and until you get the thick stuff (and real thing) you really do not know what it tastes like.

By the way---a nice boiled potato in a cold bowl of real borscht is great.

Now let us get to the next course---some nice cheese blintzes---and more sour cream. We will clog those arteries as quick as we can.
