root root root for vegetables!


i would like to preface this blogpost by mentioning that while i was in newport this weekend at a pizza & beer tasting, i was sitting with people devoid of taste buds. one of the pizzas was ribeye with goat cheese, which sister and i were very much looking forward too, as we love goat cheese, and spent our week in the south of france eating it ~daily. Anywho, as the pizza is coming out, the other 4 people at our table were like "i am so not looking forward to this pizza, it has goat cheese on it, gross." ...

...

can you just absorb that for a minute?

goat cheese.

gross.

i wanted to cry. my sister and i just looked at eachother in horror, that we had to sit with these people who dont understand what good cheese is.

now that i am done with that tangent, onwards to the root vegetables that i rather boringly roasted tonight. for 2 weeks in a row, my CSA has given me tons and tons of root vegetables. tons of sweet potatoes, tons of regular potatoes, some random beets (that i dont really understand - the purple outside ones were yellow inside, the white outside ones were pink on the inside...what?) and carrots and WHAT DO I DO WITH THEM ALL? i mean, this week i got tons of tiny little potatoes and the thought of having to peel all of them...ugh.

anywho. tonight i chopped up sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, beets, carrots, and roasted them in my pretty little baking dish. and it was...boring. somewhat tasty, especially with some feta cheese on top. but on the whole...boring. i really dont know what to do with the rest of my sweet potatoes and regular potatoes though. suggestions appreciated.
