Boozers, The Wine-Free Wino can't lie. She misses wine. Especially red wine. Which would probably explain her sudden attraction to foods that are red.
For lunch today, she could have had a tuna sandwich or a bowl of split pea soup. She could have gone out to lunch. She could have skipped lunch altogether. But she didn't. Instead she made a beet salad.
She trimmed, boiled and peeled 8 beets.
She sliced the beets and tossed them with olive oil, orange muscat vinegar, salt, pepper, and fresh tarragon.
Then she added toasted walnuts, dollops of goat cheese and a sprinkle of rock salt.

The Wino would have paired this salad with a zinfandel, a pino noir, or a syrah. The Wine-Free Wino, however, just poured herself a glass of sparkling water. Sigh.
Cheers!
