Trying New Food

A couple weeks back, I went to a primary activity and got to learn about all kinds of different countries from people who had gone on their missions there. Most of them had different foods to try. I will be honest, most of it was gross. There was a guy who had gone to Ukraine and he had this soup for us to try. Some of the kids were really brave and tried it. They said it was good, and kids are usually pretty picky, so I figured I should try it to. It was so creepy looking but so good! Any guesses as to what it was? It looks like this. You can't tell from the picture but it is like a bright purple red.
For those of you who guessed borscht, you are right! It was borscht, which is basically beet (and other vegetables) soup. I liked it so much that I decided to make it for dinner tonight. Keep in mind that a couple weeks ago was the first time in my life that I had eaten a beet. I had no idea how to cook one. I didn't even know where to look for them at the store. They kind of scare me a little. Look at that thing! It dyed my fingers purple.

It turned out so good though! I loved it. It was pretty easy too, besides chopping a million vegetables. No surprise that Jacob loved it too. I couldn't get Hudson to eat it, but he had fun playing with a left over one in a bag.

I know you are all dying for the recipe. Just email me and I will give it to you! :) Don't be afraid to try new food! You just might love it!
