Happy Earth Day, everyone!
I went to a festival. I roamed around, visiting exhibits on climate change, animal rights, and vegan snacks.
I helped myself to a bag of beet chips. I put a chip in my mouth. Crunch. I chewed. It tasted beety. I swallowed. Another chip. Crunch crunch. Swallow. Another. Chew. Crunch. Swallow. Another. I chewed and chewed, but could not chew through.
I spit it out and examined it with beady eyes.
Chips ahoy! It wasn’t a chip. It was desiccant, the packet used to preserve freshness.
I am usually so careful about reading package ingredients and warning statements. What are the odds I’d forget to read the beet bag’s back?
Beats me.
Notes from the cupcake rescue league 
“Well if that don’t beat all.” A phrase used by my southern uncle. But I know what it means.
Thank you for the “fresh” post.

Did the beet chips taste good? I was able to sample some parsnip chips (yeek!) some cauliflower chips (i-ick!) and some kale chips (hm-mm) at a recent food fair. My fave is still the yam chips.

I love yam–and any sweet potato-chips. I never heard of parsnip or cauliflower chips. How innovative. The beet chips were so beety, that was all I could think about while eating them.

the beet chips beat any beets I’ve chomped on.
