Saturday Borscht

Given the quantity of beets that we had in the fridge, drastic measures were called for. Those measures took the form of a batch of borscht.

I mostly followed the recipe in BittmanWorld, though I added some bay leaf and thyme to the stew, altered the quantities somewhat (I used three beets instead of two) and skipped (well, forgot) the beans. The result was excellent.

I say it every time, but: it's so strange to like beets.
