I HATE beets. I mean really I don't know what I disgust more, beets, or turnip's! Both are disgusting to me and up until now I've yet to have had either that I would eat.
All that changed last week - I was looking for some new things to make for dinner over at allrecipies , and all of a sudden this idea that maybe I should give beets another chance popped into my little head. So I found this recipe that sounded like it might just mask the taste of those nasty red/purple things enough to eat them - plus they are REALlY good for you and I think I need all the good foods I can get right now! - and I gave it a try. Let me just say, I couldn't taste the beets @ all! The dressing is delicious, and creamy and yummy and summery, and the color is beautiful as well I think : )
*side note - I did use sour cream instead of the yogurt, and I forgot the cucumbers
In other happenings of our life - Kaia and I spent the other day w/ a good friend out and about in the city. It was suppose to be a really nice, turned out to not be as pretty as I had thought, but not that bad over all I guess. We had a little picnic in Bryant Park, and then did some walking around. Kaia really enjoyed the day and being out, she loves those stupid birds - or rather the rats w/ wings that live all over the city - pigeons that are in every park, especially the ones where food might happen to drop for them. She loves them! Maybe she just loves birds that will get that close to her, and not so much the kind of bird themselves . . . . let hope. (I know I said that I was going to do two different blogs, one about the girls and one about me . . . but the more I think about it the sillier that seems to me, so I'm recombining them together!)
I have to go monday for another test for my sugar levels - I had one done a few weeks ago and they came back higher than my midwifes would like. So I have to go in for a 3hr fasting blood test. I'm NOT looking forward to this for a few reasons. I don't want to be in the Quest labs for that long, I don't want to have any problems in this last part of my pregnancey, I feel like I'm eating 1000x better than I did w/ Kaia, why is this happening now?! I'm scared too and just would rather get it done and over w/ - nothing I can really do about it now than take the test and move on to what is on the other side, right?

So I gave them another chance, and I'm sure glad I did. Come the summer time I think I might be making this a few more times - not too much though, no one else in my family liked to salad, and I'm not going to eat it all summer!
