redbird | Roasted vegetables

I came home from the Greenmarket with a bunch of beets and a bundle of leeks. We already had an acorn squash.

Prepping the vegetables was enough to make me wish for a compost heap, as I threw out huge amounts of greenery, squash seeds, and the like.

Then I put them all in to roast. I misjudged the timing, so we had roasted squash (with maple syrup) and leeks, then forty-five minutes later had roasted beets. (They'd cooled down enough that they needed to be started almost from scratch).

I'm not surprised that

julian_tiger likes roasted beets. He likes most things. I am surprised that he liked them enough to do the pop-up pussycat thing, head over the table, to tell us he wanted more. And the paws on my lap thing, with the same meaning, asking for yet more.
