For all you beet lovers out there

This one is actually pretty good. I didn't have honey or agave nectar, or anything nice like that, so I had to just use sugar, but it still turned out pretty good.....definitely wait till it cools cause it tastes completely different when cold.

I am back up north in Fort McMurray for my last rotation. Not too sure how long I'll be up here, there's only 5 more wells and I'm up here till they are done. It's really tough coming back up here to -20's when it felt like a chilly summer day all week in Victoria...I'm totally on summer mode now.

Just finished a good interval workout on the trainer...OUCH!!!! I don't have my skiies up here anymore, so it'll be a lot of trainer time...oh well :)
