More beets, more delicious beets. I love them this year. They are so sweet. This particular beet is called a Cloud Beet. The beets from my garden are a little bitter right now. I don't know why. The farmer said she thinks it might be my soil. I will wait until later in September and try them again when they are a little bigger. The farmers market is a great place to get produce but it is also a great place to ask questions about growing things in your garden. Hey, they're the experts. So far, any of them that I have asked are happy to answer my questions.
Here are those mammoth sweet, "cloud beets". They are about five inches to six inches in diameter. 
And finally, here are those little pink pancakes with some freshly made blueberry jam smeared on top. Delicious!
PINK PANCAKES
1/2 cup beet puree
1 egg
2 teaspoons baking powder
pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups of flour
1 cup of milk (more or less)
2 tablespoons sugar
Combine the egg and the beet puree and whisk until combined. Throw in flour, salt, baking powder and sugar. Whisk once more. Add milk until you have a nice soupy batter. It should be the consistency of heavy cream. Pour onto a hot, buttered griddle. Put heat on medium to medium high. Flip when you see bubbles burst through the top.
Spread jam on top! YUM.
