It’s a relief when you remember the reason why you have scarlet poop.
I loved the 7 baby beetroot we received last week in our CSA box. The colour was glorious and the flavour intensely sweet after cooking. I grated a couple of beetroot with carrot for a balsamic vinegar salad and roasted them chicken and again for a roast vegetable pasta. Roasted beetroot is by far my favourite way of eating beetroot but I almost had kittens the next day! Consider this a public health warning.

hahahaha. so true.
I’m with ya’. WIsh I”d read your public health warning prior to my first time eating fresh roasted beetroot and having had kittens the next morning! I “thought” for a minute and then realized what was rally going on – what a relief! Funny…
With beets, come kittens in the morning.
LOL, I was used to the coloured pooh but the other day I was peeing red and it took me a moment to realize it was beets.
Red pee! That’s a new one to me. Maybe I don’t eat enough beets.
Ha, I had exactly the same ‘condition’! The ‘oh my god, I’m dying’ moment!!!
I suspected that others might have suffered from the same condition. The Koala called it “bum aids”. Lovely.
I just snorted and startled my feeding baby…
Sorry bubs! Just had a thought, did you freak out the day after the first time you fed beetroot to boy D?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! When I read this, I just guffawed. Thankfully, there was no one around to hear my. Well, actually, my neighbors might have heard me 😉
My cousin was once obsessed with color-changing Kool-Aid. This was back in the late 80’s, early 90’s. He said that not only did it change color on the way in, it also changed the color of everything on the way out. I like to remind him of this now that he is 40!
I’ve never had Kool-Aid before. Are we talking number ones or twos?
Both.
😉
I know. It’s so gross!
I tried to find the flavor, but I can’t seem too . . . It was a blue powder that turned red when you added it to water. But it came back out blue. So one and two. BLUE!
Blue number ones and twos? That’s like magic!
I think that was the name of the flavor! It was something like Magic Twist Blue Raspberry 😉
He said it was really BRIGHT blue! And that was his favorite part. Because he hated the taste.
lol. The things we do for art.
haha! True 🙂
Been there, done that. Not pretty. Plus really bad for the blood pressure!
Having kittens is bad for blood pressure, but at least eating beetroot is good for blood pressure. I guess it all balances out.
The word escapes me at the moment but it has a name like beeturia or something.
Holy smokes Tammy! You’re right. It’s a thing.

Yeah, so weird that if you get it, you have some recessive gene or something. Right? It only affects a small number of people.
