 Back to school arrives, actually with warning, but if you are like me you choose to ignore the warnings until one fine day you realize that it is a new school year.

As if that was not enough, as I opened the door yesterday morning with my son, I heard the unmistakeable russtle of the fall leaves and the crisp air informed me that fall was indeed there.

We enjoy a crop of  carrots and beets almost all year round. While I do an assortment of things with the carrots, I have generally left the beets for roasting. Roasted beets do taste wonderful, so I figured why mess with perfection.

However, as with everything there is always a first time, or with garden produce there is always a first year and this year was the year where I got bolder with my beets. Here is a stir fry that we enjoyed the other evening alongside some freshly broiled fish.
