Congradulations! I hope you thought ahead and brought a moving van
with you to lug your ribbons home in.

<g> When I brought my baking over yesterday, Intake Lady says, "Barb
Schaller. . . .I remember writing your name on some ribbons yesterday."
Oh yeah? She would NOT tell me what color the ribbons are!! And I
scolded her roundly for being such a tease. Not nice! She could've
just as well said nothing! Wench!

The story is an obvious forgery. Writing "Schaller's new challenge is
to win for pickled beets, something she hasn't done before." is proof
that the reporter never met her.

If it were true, who would she get to taste test the pickled b**ts?

Very nice! But as to your next endeaver, how would you know how a beet
is supposed to taste? Just askin'...

This is a winner: http://www.justvegetablerecipes.com/veg-0051547.html

But whichever recipe, use roasted beets not boiled.

Ezzackly! I DON'T KNOW what the stuff is supposed to taste like and I'm
not about to do any comparison tasting. Like the leetle story says, I
do it for laughs. To see if I can. Can, get it? "-)

Are you impugning my integrity or something like that? <g> I've never
MADE pickled beets, much less eaten them. Gack. The syrup didn't taste
so bad, though, I gotta say that. Never met the reporter ftf. We did
the interview on the phone and he sent the photog a coupla days later.

Funny story: On the morning of, I was scurrying to tidy up the joint a
little and figured I'd shower up, get the face painted, and still have
10 minutes to spare before guy's supposed to show up. 10:58 a.m., I am
in the bathroom doorway, buck nekkid, ready to hit the tub and the
doorbell rings. Oh s***! "Are you the photographer who's supposed to
be here at 11:30?" sez I. "No, I'm the photographer who is two minutes
early for my 11:00 a.m. appointment." <cough> I told him my dilemma,
asked him to wait a few and skipped the shower, added a couple extra
spritzes of No.5, did my face, ran a brush through the grey mop, and
greeted him 10 minutes later. It's a murrcle! Nice guy. Nikon. No
extra lighting but for his hot shoe flash. I sent a plate of brownies
back to the paper with him for the reporter and the photo editor. Do I
LOOK stupid?

THANK YOU!!! Photog shot some with and without and I'm tickled that,
although not mentioned in the leetle story, they used one of the pics
that has them included. And the red, white, and blue looks (to me) like
part of my top. It's my medallion from 2 years ago and he took a lot of
shots with me doing various things with it. That's also not mentioned
in the little blurb. Great fun.

I've got a radio gig lined up for somewhere around 3:30 p.m. on 8/28.
KSTP-AM 1500. Dunno if they stream live -- tune in if you care. Me and
Joe Soucheray (show host) -- I did it last year with him and they asked
me back! Cool! Nice guy, too.

I notice you didn't tell them that the reason you've never done pickled
beets before is because you think beets are the tools of the devil.

I vote we all write to the paper and suggest they get a picture of Barb
*eating* her pickled beets!

Like the way you photograph your product; makes it interesting to see the
creation in process.
Did you can your pickled beets whole, chunks or in slices? They look like
they are whole in the photo, but you would have had to use very small beets
to do that.

The judges. Certainly no one in my house! Like I said (and have said
for years) -- I do it for laughs and the fun of it. The really SICK
part of this is that I see myself making another batch of the stuff --
I've had that many people making inquiries! They won't be cheap,
though. Hazard Pay costs.

Well slap my cheek and call me goofy, that didn't even cross

Don't LIE like that! Melba's Jammin' LOVES beets: borscht and
