Too bad we do not live closer together. I love the beet roots and
don't care for the leaves. I remember one time at the farmer's market
I found beets with leaves. Another person come up and wanted the
leaves. We worked out a deal and both were happy.

Alton Brown did a show (or more) on beets and at least one had a
recipe for the greens. IIRC it was some kind of a loaf. I tried it
but didn't save it because I don't like the leaves.
