(this is copied from my friend Susanne's blog... it's friends only, so I couldn't send you that way).

My friend Jenny gets a basket of organic produce from a local farm every Wednesday. She has started a blog about the different meals she, her husband Eric, and baby Ollie make with the basket foods. Since she is on vacation this week, she kindly offered Tony and I the basket. I thought that I should supplement her blog with at least one entry about what we've made from her organic produce!

Borscht!
Yes, the basket contained fresh beets. And carrots. And new potatoes. Tony and I spent some time yesterday afternoon debating borscht recipes, and then decided on a simple one.

1) brown 1 large diced onion in stock pot
2) add 2 peeled and shredded beets and several diced carrots
3) Cover with water and simmer gently for 20 minutes
4) Add stock and 1-2 tablespoons of vinegar to taste
5) Simmer 15 minutes more.

Serve over boiled new potatoes with a big dollop of sour cream in the middle. Yummy! And pink!
