Did you know beet leaves are edible? i really cannot wait until the scientists implant a Google search bar straight into my brain.

Borscht is Ukrainian for yummy. It's also really cheap to make, since we got almost all of the ingredients for $8 at the Aldi.

Also-- no chopping! You just shred any root vegetable you can get your hands on and boil it all up. I got to shred the carrots. Uh, Michelle did everything else.

Her new bestie Lemmy wears her amazing leather guitar straps, which you can see here. Clearly she's the most accomplished woman I know.
