a power chord
My friend Holly wrote me tonight that she took the same beets I found at the Coral Gables farmers’ market on Saturday and made a beautiful carrot-beet-shallot soup and folded the beet tops into an omelet.
Inspired, I took out my guitar (I know, story for another time) and decided to work on my power chords.
And this led to bacon rendered for sautéed beets and bok choy, my power chord (bacon being the silent third, of course) for local Miami food tonight—and note the lower right of this image.
I have always disliked Canadian bacon because I expect stripes in circular form (imagine what a revelation pancetta was); wonderful then, are the interior mandala slices of chioggias, that, forked, reveal themselves to be other than what they seem…

I’ve only had beets in France, but with bok choy and bacon, I’d definitely eat them this side of the Atlantic!

A power chord indeed! Mouthwatering…

Mica, the most beautiful beets I’ve seen in the summer were in Chicago, so you’re in luck.
Holly, thanks! Your menu really was the inspiration for this (and we do have a few weeks of beets, left, right?)
