Ah, the simple pleasures! My dinner tonight, a plate of Donna’s homemade pickled beets paired with artisanal goat cheese from Yellow Springs Farm. The beets were candy sweet and contrasted superbly with the dry, salty cheese.
I had forgotten — or perhaps never new — just how wonderful real pickled beets are. Far better than anything from a can bought in a supermarket. As, by the way, was the goat cheese.
