Photo safaris in the asphalt jungle

Here's T.

and here's B.

...who are my photo safari (phrase coined by B.) compatriots. Lately we have been lurking on the streets taking pictures of various types. And eating Japanese curry...which causes gas, by the way.

Here is some of T.'s handiwork:

Roasted Beets w/ Walnut Gorgonzola Dressing

I found this recipe (click on "Roasted Beets.." above) on the internet when looking for a way to use up walnuts and it's both delicious and nutritious (I assume). Serve it over fettucine maybe, or today I ate it over ziti. I also buy the beets with the greens on, trim and cut them, and throw them in to the pasta cooking water toward the end of the cooking time. Mixing the gorgonzola and cream in the blender might cause some consternation..try using "pulse" and scraping repeatedly; I added extra cream to make it work better. Go easy when you add the dressing and beets to the pasta, because the flavor can be strong if you get too much dressing to pasta. I don't know if this would be a kid-friendly one...? Maybe not Lindsey-friendly, either (she who prefers Kraft macaroni and cheese and Top Ramen). And men who eat only meat and potatoes might be frightened by the gorgonzola in this. Everyone else will love it!

Here's my Sunday lunch today:



With both yellow and red beets...Good stuff!!
