Ate some borscht today, otherwise known as beet stew. It typically isint served as strictly beets, however. Most of the time a selection of vegetables are added, including carrots and tomatoes. The borscht itself turned out to be a fairly bright magenta color until you added a good dollup of sour cream, then it turned a vibrant pink color. With this meal, my brother who had spent the last year in Russia, insisted we take a shot of vodka and chase it with a pickled mushroom, as is traditional in mother Russia. The whole meal was really great, if you havent tried borscht, I reccomend it. In addition to the Borscht, for lunch I had a bowl of Uncle Ben's black bean and rice soup. The box was probably older than I am, but that did not seem to have any effect on the end product. It was quite delicious, which was very suprising, considering it needed no meat in order to accomplish this feat. I decided I need to find a decent recipe for this on my own, as its a very inexpensive and can be a very tasty meal. I might repost the recipe I find...maybe. If you deserve it...Oh of course you deserve it, loyal readership. Adieu!
UPDATE
yes, well, I guess im going to come up with something myself. Its pretty much impossible to find a strictly black beans and rice soup recipe on the interwebs. Maybe ill call up Uncle Ben...
