BEETS, WHERE ARE THE BEETS, call me crazy but due to my 1/2
Ukrainian/Russian heritage, grandma always made borscht primarily
from beets and stock, in fact I though by definition it was beet
soup.  Of course maybe she did it that way because that was
all they had when she left during the Revolution, who knows?
