"I was talking with a friend just last night about boiling vs. roasting, and I was saying how I feel boiling always just sucks out all the tastes of the beet while roasting retains the natural taste plus adds a bit of smokiness. (BTW, I have to watch my cholesterol too, which is why I rarely use butter in my recipes, except for dessert, which I rarely make anyway.) Thanks for the feedback!" . .
