1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

2 ounces chèvre

2 tablespoons fresh tarragon, thinly sliced

¼ cup walnut pieces

Equipment:

baking sheet

oven

frying pan

whisk

bowl

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.Roast the beets: If your beets come with greens attached, set them aside and use them instead of baby arugula. Peel the beets (it's okay, golden beets won't stain your hand like red beets will) and then cut them into 1-inch cubes. Toss in the olive oil, and spread in a single layer in on the parchment-lined pan. Roast the beets, stirring occasionally, until they are cooked all the way through and the edges are turning brown, about 35 to 40 minutes. Set aside to cool.Toast the walnuts: Turn the oven off. Spread the chopped walnuts a rimmed baking sheet and pop into the still-hot warm oven to toast. Stir after 5 minutes. Remove the nuts when they smell fragrant and are lightly browned, about 8 to 10 minutes total. The timing will vary depending on how well your oven retains heat.Make the dressing: In a small bowl whisk together the walnut oil, orange juice, balsamic, tarragon, salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning.Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, toss the cooled beets with the arugula and dressing. Top with crumbled chèvre, and the toasted walnuts. Top with more pepper if you like.

Food Joke

For all you Sadies out there, an explanation to help you understand ‘man-speak’ [My thanks to Stan C for the following] IT`S A GUY THING: There’s no rational thought pattern connected with this and you have no chance at all of making it logical. CAN I HELP WITH DINNER?: What he really wanted to say was, "Why isn`t dinner already on the table?" UH HUH; SURE, HONEY; OR YES, DEAR: This is a conditioned response and means absolutely nothing. IT WOULD TAKE TOO LONG TO EXPLAIN: This is another way of saying, "I have no idea how it works." I WAS LISTENING TO YOU. IT`S JUST THAT I’VE THINGS ON MY MIND: What this really means is, "I wasn’t listening to you because I was wondering if that blond over there was wearing a bra." TAKE A BREAK DARLING, YOU’RE WORKING TOO HARD: What he really wanted to say was, "I can`t hear the football match on the TV. Please turn off the vacuum cleaner." THAT`S INTERESTING, DEAR: This is another way of saying, "Are you still talking?" YOU KNOW HOW BAD MY MEMORY IS: This means, "I remember all the words to `My Way`; the name of the first girl I kissed; and the registration numbers of every car I`ve owned - but I forgot your birthday." I WAS THINKING ABOUT YOU SO I GOT YOU THESE FLOWERS: This really means, "The girl selling flowers on the corner was a real beauty, so I bought some from her." HEY, I`VE GOT MY REASONS FOR WHAT I`M DOING: But what he didn’t add was, "And I sure hope I think of some pretty good reasons soon.” WHAT DID I DO THIS TIME?: What he really wanted to say was, "What did you catch me at this time?" I HEARD YOU: What this means is, "I haven`t the foggiest clue what you just said and I’m hoping desperately that I can fake it well enough so that you don`t spend the next 3 days yelling at me. YOU KNOW I COULD NEVER LOVE ANYONE ELSE: This really means, "I’m used to the way you shout at me, and I realise it could be worse." YOU LOOK TERRIFIC: What he really wanted to say was, "Please don`t try on one more outfit, I`m absolutely starving."
