Beets with Pistachios and Mint
June 27, 2011
Adventures come few and far between for me these days. It is not that I am not loving my maternal/ professional/ domestic life, but I do feel the nostalgic for the days when I could take off on a moment’s notice for some incredible journey- usually with twenty bucks in my pocket and only the vaguest of plans. So when my husband’s parents offered to watch our kids for a weekend so we could fly away (Yes, on a plane, with no children!) for a friend’s wedding, we jumped at the opportunity.
We filled the weekend with all sorts of adult outings and completely refrained from anything even hinting at a whine. It was fabulous. The wedding itself was special in just about every way. I was especially smitten with the food. Every dish served was beautiful and inspired. One dish in particular though, struck me with its intriguing taste and unique presentation, the beet salad.
