Hello fellow bloggers, just wanted to give everyone a quick update on my borscht. It has lasted in my fridge for up to three days now and still smells like beets, so I guess that means it's ok to eat! My very acute food poisoning instincts have forced me to realize that my borsch is made from chicken stock and therefore has the ability to poison me in an unknown amount of time. Why is meat so terrifying? Maybe I should start making my soups with vegetable stock. Would vegetable stock last longer? I plan on trying to finish this lovely dish of purple water with soggy, unidentifiable vegetables by tomorrow, but just in case I somehow resist, when would would you advise putting the borscht into the freezer?
As far as taste goes, the taste of this borscht is non-existant. However, in its own way, it's helping me achieve my goal of 8 glasses of water a day, which I suppose is nice.
Lastly, I would like to ask a question about microwaving leftover Borscht. Why is that when I put it in the microwave for two minutes, the vegetables become so hot that they start whistling and popping, threatening to explode and leave their poor remnants all over my microwave, yet the broth remains icy cold? Is this just to spite me? How would you suggest warming up a bowl of soup? Putting it all in a pot, turning on the stove, and then cleaning the pot in my clogged sink (currently filled with purply-red water that may never drain) seems like a real hassle, but maybe it's the only way.
Anyway, time to turn a new page and thus a new recipe. Tomorrow I will be making pizza from 9-6 at DeLuca's, after which I will return home to make some pizza for dinner, because that's all my creative mind could think to make whilst doing my weekly grocery trip. I suppose 9 hours of putting pepperoni on slabs of dough will limit your imagination a bit. More on that tomorrow friends, until then gnight!
